Some teachers may be interested in using Google Slides to create a daily agenda for students. A few helpful tips in either case:
Create ONE Google Slides. Do not change the link. Prepare additional Slides in a different Google Slides. Copy and paste when you’re ready to update what students see.
When designing Google Slides for distance learning updating the work daily by moving the most current Slide to the top of the deck.
Consider changing the background color Slides based on the action. For example, blue Slides might indicate instruction, yellow Slides indicate work students complete and orange slides represent announcements.
