2 Creative ways to use Google Slides in Education
One of the staple tools in Google Drive is Google Slides. Typically viewed as a tool to create linear presentations, much like PowerPoint, there are potentially two interesting approaches to using Google Slides in the classroom that move beyond traditional linear presentation slides. One is a hidden gem inside of Google Slides that allows a user to create linked presentations slides, the other turns Google Slides into a published book online.
Creating Choose Your Own Adventure Stories
The first slide acts as the starting point for the entire presentation. Insert an appropriate visual or text on the slide that will eventually act as multiple clickable links to subsequent slides. Then create additional slides that will house more detailed information, concepts, or visuals that will be accessed by clicking through the home slide.
To Create
- Adjust the settings of the shape to make it transparent
- Select the shape / image & click on the link option in the menu bar
- Change the linking option from hyperlink to “Slides in this Presentation”
- Select the appropriate slide to create the internal link
- Linking back – create a small shape or insert an image on each slide that either links back to the home slide or links to the next concept
Editing master slides and layouts
You may have noticed that when you select a different theme in Google Slides, it rearranges the text on your slides and adds shapes to the background. This is because each theme has built-in slide layouts and background graphics. You can edit these layouts with a feature called the master template editor. Once you learn how to use the editor, you’ll be able to customize your entire slide show with just a few clicks.
