Must-Have Google Slides Add-Ons for Teachers

[@lisahurst1940]

Where have you been for the last week of chaos and hell in my life??!! Thank you for sharing all of these add on's along with actual examples of what they look like and ways to use them. With 800 kids to teach and many tech threatened staff to help assist and train, this really was a Godsend. Thank you and I will be sure to follow you because I am so sick of boring slides and hearing myself talk AT kids!😊☮

[@NewEdTechClassroom]

Thank you so much, Lisa! Best of luck!

University Physics & Astronomy Professor: To Teach other Teachers how to Teach is indeed a very rare gift! Absolutely outstanding job! Perfectly paced and both insightful and intuitive! Definitely a valued piece of reference information for all teachers! Kudos on a job excellently done!!!

[@NewEdTechClassroom]

Thank you Professor Dan! :)

[@xtian1113]

Thanks to you, I can now see my way to making the Google classroom really work for the kids. Thank you so much for your dedication and clarity. You are the kind of teacher I aspire to be and I'm 55 years old. Still learning!

[@NewEdTechClassroom]

Thank you so much, that made my day! :)

[@maddiesullivan588]

I have been using Pear Deck on Google Slides with my students during Remote Learning. I work with elementary students-the youngest students are in 2nd grade. They are all able to connect to Pear Deck, and it definitely helps to make lessons a lot more interactive and engaging for my students at home.

[@NewEdTechClassroom]

That's great to hear, Maddie! I love Pear Deck!

[@essworldwide1882]

You saved my life!! I was asked to teach using Google Meet which has no annotation features like Zoom does. I`m ready n set.! Thanks a million.

[@NewEdTechClassroom]

Right on! Happy Google Meeting :)

[@mrs.morris5506]

Life. SAVING! Actually these tips are time saving. I usually go through the motions of visiting multiple sites to make my slides as interactive as possible, never once realizing that add-ons were tools I REALLY need. Much appreciated!

[@NewEdTechClassroom]

You're very welcome!

[@soniabonia786]

Oh my gosh! This is AMAZING! I'm starting my first year as a teacher and it's all distance learning, and your video is so incredibly helpful! Thank you so much! I will be raiding through all your videos and posts now! Thank you!!

You're welcome, Sonia! I'm glad to be of help!

[@cherylmaclean4349]

Fantastic!! Thank you for this great video. I had two day’s notice and was moved from teaching in-class grade 5/6 to distance learning grade 7, (a grade I have NEVER taught in 20 years)! These tips will help a lot when I start Monday.

[@NewEdTechClassroom]

Wow, best of luck Cheryl!! Thank you!

[@sheilaslawiak4696]

What a super video! A great way for teachers to spice up their lesson activities! Sam explains his directions very well and in a few minutes, you are up & running! Thank you, Sam, for your hard work so teachers can improve their productivity & effectiveness while increasing student engagement!

[@NewEdTechClassroom]

Thanks so much, Sheila!

[@celestinewoo9249]

Thank you so much for this vid!! It's one of the best I've seen. It's so clear, concise, and just the right amount of detail: not too vague, not overwhelming. You don't waste time repeating stuff or trying to get us all excited (thank you!). Like many other teachers, I am both excited and overwhelmed by all this techno. I've been sitting through trainings all day, and the Pear Deck one was cool but after 45 mins of massive detail, I couldn't take in any more.

[@NewEdTechClassroom]

You're welcome, Celestine! I appreciate the kind words!

[@Managamasplymiad]
