I am getting ready to present some new material to my students and I am bored with the choices I have. Is there something fast and simple that I could try?
I noticed a presentation a teammate was giving and it was full of color, what did they use?
There are many options and in this post, I am going to highlight two.
slidesgo
slidesgo offers a wide range of Google Slide templates that are free to use. You can sign up for a free account which will allow you 10 free downloads a month.
To get started, visit slidesgo.
Start by clicking one of the categories on the homepage. I usually check education first.
I do not pay for slidesgo so I avoid the ones with the Premium tags.
I liked the look of the Sketchnotes, so I clicked.
I then clicked Google Slides.
Click to make my own personal copy.
The second slide gives you some directions to start building.
This is what slidesgo gives me as an introduction slide.
I only needed three big points, so I quickly edited it down.
I used this technique moving forward, altering and editing the slides as I created. While I could have used a traditional slide setup but I think we are somewhat tired are seeing the same things over and over for years.
Tutorials and Tips - for more information on how to use this resource, start at slidesgo school.
SlidesCarnival
Similar to slidego but these are all free to use.
Similar to slidesgo, I start with the education category.
Once I see something that might work, I click.
Scrolling down a little you can read about the features of the template.
When ready, I hit the Google Slides button.
Make a copy, now I have my own copy to edit as I see fit.
Check out slide number two, it will give you some directions.
My first slide using SlidesCarnival looks more inviting than anything I could create on my own.
This took about 7 seconds to create.
Some of the last slides have icons you can copy and use on any slide.
If you have questions, check out their how-to.
