    Gosh, thanks so much for this - I love that this is straightforward, no bedazzled distractions etc. So incredibly helpful for a teacher who did not grow up in the tech generation and desperately trying to keep up and help her students. A thousand thanks. I'm going to watch your others as well.

    Teacher's Tech is just what I needed to learn how to fully use Google Classroom. The instructor is clear, calm, and backs up the instruction with visuals. The pace is perfect for beginners. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!

  • @jcawalton
    @jcawalton Před 4 lety +63

    I had no idea you could change the size of a slide. This was worth watching for that tip alone. Thanks so much.

      Once you switch to PowerPoint to create your resources, you'll NEVER GO BACK. Of course Google slides is the same. I prefer PowerPoint to create as there is more functionality. I can just upload them to my Google Drive and they instantly convert to slides. So much easier to share with students via Google. (But Microsoft is better for the creation side of things.)

    Oh my heavens! I have been searching for months on a way to have students label maps! You're my hero!!! Thank you!

  • @davidfiebert2335
    @davidfiebert2335 Před 4 lety +19

    Finally! A video that actually worked for me. Great explanation of each step. You are definitely a teacher. Thank you.

  • @graciesanroman7448
    @graciesanroman7448 Před 4 lety +25

    💡TIP: You can also use Ctrl + D to Duplicate. Then you just drag the duplicated text box to the next blank space. Great video. Can't wait to share with the teachers in my district. 😊

  • @kellyamato2242

    I spent 2 hours yesterday trying to figure this out. Thanks for your direct, easy to follow instructions!!

  • @davidmcglone5132

    I LOVE your videos! They are so helpful! I'm a college professor that has recently transitioned my team to Google Classroom and all things Google. I've shared a couple videos with my staff to help them along the way. Your explanations were very simple to follow and understand. Two thumbs up!!

  • @rachelle_banks
    @rachelle_banks Před 3 lety +3

  • @bevbower9055
    @bevbower9055 Před 3 lety +1

    Thank you for producing a quick, clear, concise video that makes perfect sense because you say and show as you go. Your pace is perfect for making notes and moving right on. I like that you do mention other videos available, but do not go on "advertise" them in that long, irritating way that many others do, and you don't even pretend to be funny or cute in delivery. Thanks!!!

  • @darlenedionne1753
    @darlenedionne1753 Před 4 lety +4

    Thanks for detailed steps to follow. It makes the directions easy to apply. Here's another tip:
    when starting, use plus sign to open a new presentation slide and use dropdown arrow to get to blank cell. Change page set up to 8.5 x 11. NOW SAVE THIS NEW TEMPLATE of blank cell and page size with a new name like NEW PRESENTATION TEMPLATE. Make a few copies of the blank slides. Make a copy of this presentation and RENAME IT WITH A NEW NAME like English 12A or whatever. Continue to create your slide presentation. The most important step in this process is to rename the slide TEMPLATE as soon as you open it. You will always have a new, blank slide ready with page set up for 8.5 x 11. It is a little shortcut.

  • @nicolesheahan6359
    @nicolesheahan6359 Před 4 lety +7

    Thanks for sharing this -- I'm sharing with teachers in my school. A tip for you: You can change the Layout of the slide to Blank instead of deleting text boxes. Paying it forward!

  • @literarylearning9635
    @literarylearning9635 Před 4 lety

    This is absolute genius! I had no idea that we could change the setup of a slide page! This saves me a toooon of time and effort in trying these other confusing platforms!

  • @kimmidkiff8788
    @kimmidkiff8788 Před 3 lety +2

    You can also add a border to the text boxes, or fill then with a light color, and add to the directions to "put your answer in the green boxes"; that way students don't have to delete the "type here" text. Great video tute!!!

    Nice idea. Two suggestions: Instead of writing Click Here and forcing the kids to delete it, when you make the text box, just choose Border Color and instead of Transparent, give it a thin visible border. Also, Google "pdf to jpeg" - there are plenty of excellent, free online services that will easily convert a pdf to a png or jpeg quickly.

    @suzannep.248 Před 3 lety +2

    💡TIP: If the "Click here" not pasting exactly where you want drives you a bit nutty as it does me ;) , click on the text box, then select Format (top toolbar), Align & Indent, and then select Middle. This way, whatever has been typed into the text box will show up in the middle of the box (from top to bottom). If you select "Center" the text will be will center-justified (from left to right). Excellent video - I'm subscribing to learn more!
