How to Create Drag and Drop Activities on Google Slides | EDTech Made Easy Tutorial

I just wanted to thank you for speaking so clearly! I am deaf and while closed captions are usually very necessary for me, when I am watching a demonstration, they get in the way. I am so grateful that I didn't need to use the captions, for the first time ever in my entire life! This literally has never happened, so THANK YOU for being awesome!!

My first grader and I have been enjoying our virtual curriculum here in Middle Tennessee! As his educational coach working with his teacher remotely (both synchronously and asynchronously), I have been trying to find fun and easy ways to present his assignments without the use of a printer. His teacher frequently sends along some of the assignments via email as attachments (.jpg and/or .pdf). Being that we do not have a printer in our home, I have been trying to come up with paperless solutions. Being a lover of Google Slides, I knew it would work in translating many of these printable document-based assignments into paperless assignments, but you took what I already knew to the next level! I already had the knowledge of "locking" certain aspects by making them the slides' background, but your copy and place multiples of the drag-able manipulative aspects was exactly what I needed! Thank you so much for posting this! I'll share it along to my son's teacher and see if I can help him make some of these assignments easier paperless-friendly learning experiences!

I am so interested in the answer to this too. I see it has been asked a lot but no-one has come up with an answer. Anyone out there that can provide a solution???

[@elizabethharber9448]

I'm going to try using Doctopus to share out copies to each individual student. This is an Add-On in Google Sheets. To use it you begin in a Google Sheet. Manage Add-Ons and go from there. You will enter each student's name and email. Once you build a roster, you can use it again and again. After the Slide Set is distributed, you as the teacher can control their access and look at each student's work. I generally use this for essays, but I want to try it for sorting activities. As for turning it in, they could take a screen shot and turn in the photo if it is a one page activity. For multiple slides, they might have to save as a PDF or video before submitting to our LMS. (Not using G. Classroom)

This is great--just wondering if they are doing this on their own, how do they know if they were correct?

[@Every-l9sthing]

That's a good question.

[@MrsAmandaLockwood]

Most likely this would be assigned via google classroom or something similar where each student gets a copy and they turn it in. We can go in and shuffle through responses quickly to grade via the assignments/grading section.

[@katlen124]

They could save and turn it in. Otherwise it is practice.

[@penelopefp]

It's kind of like how do they ever know when they are doing work right, even in the classroom. We do one together via screen share or zoom, and monitor their work and give them feedback. And if they do it completely independently and still get it wrong, it opens doors to talk about how they interpretted the instructions. Maybe they didn't do it wrong according to their intrepretation, if you know what I mean? Which then helps us improve our ability to give clearer instructions.

[@penelopefp]

As far as knowing whether their answer is correct, I think this is intended for the teacher/para to grade or classmates can compare if they have the same answer.

Yes why don’t they work on an iPad is my question.

[@angiyowell9356]

I believe, if memory serves me correct, you assign this through Google Classroom and you will select "make a copy for each student" when you assign it. Then each student will have a copy of this in their Drive that they can complete and "turn in" to Classroom.

[@isabellesunn2151]

Angi Yowell so that means they have to leave the classroom assignment and go look for it in their Drive to get the copy of the slides? Because I know the one I assign to them (and yes I have given them each a copy) doesn’t work/move. I tried it as one of my students who was doing all the assignments.

[@mrs.grimes987]

@@isabellesunn2151 The kids don't have to leave Google Classroom and go look for the Slides assignment in their Drive. It's right there on the Assignment in Google Classroom.

I've never had a problem with students being able to move the movable objects within them.

[@isabellesunn2151]

Mrs. Grimes yes I know how to do that but the children who were doing the assignments on an iPad said the active was not interactive- they couldn’t click and drag the pictures or the words . Most ended up making it a matching activity. It was fine but I just want to know if there is another way because sometimes when they drew lines to match it was a disaster!

[@traciebosket]

Hi Michelle, When a student drags something, do the other students see the items that were dropped? Do you send out individual GoogleSlides to each individual student? Tip: rather importing an image as the background, you can use View -> Master -> Upload Image That will "lock" the image without degrading the quality.

Create an Assignment and add your Slides deck to it in Google Classroom, and choose the option to Make a Copy for each student. They will all get their own copy that they will be able to edit.

[@mrs.grimes987]

@@traciebosket I've not use Canvas so I'm not sure. But if you create a Google Slides deck , you can create a Shareable Link. After you do that, copy the link and paste it somewhere. Then change the very end of the link, beginning with the word 'edit' and anything that follows it to 'copy' (but don't use the apostrophes). I'm guessing you can share links in Canvas? If so, you just share the link you edited. When students visit it, it will force them to make a copy. They would have to be logged into Google first though. That's the only other way I can think of that you can easily get copies to all your students via Canvas.

@@mrs.grimes987 Thanks Mrs. G

Thank you for explain/showing how to use multiple boxes of the same number! That's what I was needing to learn! Your expertise in this will make me look "cooler" to my students!

Question for you....can you then assign this to google classroom where the students can do the activity and submit their answers to you?

[@humbledbyhumanity8529]

That's what I was going to ask. If you "assigned a copy to all students" on google classroom. Then YOURS isn't messed up. And--THIS question...Would they be able to "submit" it and we would see the map etc with states labeled?

[@staceygustafson3522]

@ select "make a copy for each student"

Excellent, it was amazing. I am new in using technology. ( A digital immigrant). Very clear. Congratulations.

HOW THE HECK are you able to teach, gym, marathon and run a very professional youtube channel?? are days 36 hours long in the states or something!?!

[@khsbtbotl1015]

Thank you so much for all the tips and tricks. I use them all the time with our students. I am usually ok with technology but am lost when it comes to google docs, slides, etc. Thanks again

I love the presentation; however, the background music is a bit distracting.

I knew I could find a video you did on this topic. You make it so easy for me. Thank you so much! I learn so much from you (21 year veteran teacher here).
