“I left you feedback in Google Slides on question 12, please respond to my feedback.” And I paste the link to that exact slide. Where I leave student comments I Control V paste the link to that slide with my feedback. Looking at the 12th slide of something a student submitted, I Control L highlight the URL and Control C copy. I do this a lot also when reviewing work. They can paste that into an email asking for help or submit to the private comments in Google Classroom to direct you to exactly that slide. Control L highlights the URL and Control C copies it. Have students do one question per slide and then they can submit the link to just slide 20. Doing that over and over takes up valuable time. Everything is fine until it doesn’t scale. If a student is responding to question 20 in a Google Doc you need to SCROLL that entire Google Doc. Want More Help with This? Become a Premium Member They can demonstrate their understanding of concepts through the feedback they give and just the process of having to analyze another student’s work and leave a meaningful feedback comment is a learning experience all in itself. Teach students to provide high quality feedback. Go to someone else’s slide and give them a feedback comment that helps them get better.” Critique and analysis is excellent for student learning. Students can always Control A select all, Control C copy and paste into an individual Google Doc later if I really need formalized final copies. This is more challenging to catch when they are working in individual Google Docs. When you see a blank slide you know a student is struggling getting started and can go over and sit with that student to help them get going. WHILE THEY ARE TYPING you are more easily able to jump in and give feedback. Make ONE Google Slides and share it with the class with edit access. To help students get started on something, start with a collaborative Google Slides. I would rather hit myself in the head with a brick than open up 30 Google Docs. Students can also add video to their work, adding a whole new dimension. I use Screencastify to record video feedback that automatically saves to Google Drive and use the Insert menu to add the video right onto the slides for the student. Unlike Google Docs, you can add video to Google Slides. Updates for students based on feedback are easy also, they can simply add another slide. The student can easily find my feedback slides since they have a unique background color. This gives me a “whole piece of paper” worth of room to provide feedback rather than cramming things into the margins. With Google Slides I add a whole new slide to student work and change the background color. Note you can granularly comment on a word or phrase in Google Slides just like you can in a Google Doc. Inserting images or text into a students Google Doc messes up the document! It shifts their text and alters the document itself.
I can take advantage of OFF CANVAS to insert feedback and Bitmoji’s. I can DRAG my Bitmoji onto a students slide and not mess up their writing. Everyone gets their own slide but it’s wicked easy to have discussions and share ideas when we are all together.ĭirections: Add a slide and put your name in the speaker notes. You add text boxes and those text boxes do not move when someone else is editing Google Slides.īasically, my favorite activity is making ONE Google Slides and sharing it with the entire class. My trick for collaborating in a Google Doc is to press enter a bunch of times first to give each person space to type otherwise you’re fighting for the cursor. Even when I am collaborating with just one other person in a Google Doc it is unnerving to have your text move to the next page while you’re working on it. CollaborateĪll G Suite applications are collaboration tools, however when you want to collaborate I think Slides wins over Docs. So here are 5 reasons to use Google Slides for things you might normally choose Google Docs for. One of the 8 mathematical principles is “choose tools strategically” because this in and of itself is a critical thinking skill. Of course, I use Google text documents but very often this is the tool of choice when other choices may be better. Tongue in cheek I recommend in my presentations to stop using Google Docs.
