Alternative Uses for Google Tools: Google Slides

We are moving on in our series talking about alternative ways to use Google products, and today it’s all about Google Slides. Slides are a great way for teachers to present content, but it’s also a great creative tool. Its accessibility and ease of use make it a great way for students to show what they know.

Slides' amazing alternative uses come predominantly from three features that just make it different: the ability to easily share, the ability for slides to go straight into presentation mode, and the ability to link between slides. It means you can create things that are not just presentations, and we outline those below.


Alternative Uses:

  • 1 Student 1 Slide: Create a presentation with a slide for every student in your class. Then put each student's name in the presenter notes, and share the slides on edit. The students can then go in and edit the slide that has their name on it to create a collaborative slide deck.
  • StoryBooks: Storybooks are just a matter of putting the slides together in a book style format then including links to jump around in the slide show. You can also just have the presentation open up in presentation mode to have students jump straight into the book.
  • Game Show: This goes back to formats that you have seen. You basically create a lead game board on the first or second slide and buttons that when clicked jump to slides that are game questions. You can then have a back button that sends them back to the game board. 
  • Apps: Creating an app is just a matter of changing the size of the slides to match a phone screen, and then creating a slide at the start with links that send to other sides. The other slides can then have back buttons to send them back to the home screen.
  • Comic Strips: Just have each slide be a panel in the comic strip. You can then collaborate and share any way you want.
