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!!
💡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. 😊
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.
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.)
Finally! A video that actually worked for me. Great explanation of each step. You are definitely a teacher. Thank you.
Oh my heavens! I have been searching for months on a way to have students label maps! You're my hero!!! Thank you!
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.
Thank you! I just made my first PDF into a fill-in worksheet. WHOA!
this is absolutely brilliant!! It was just trying to find a way for students to do the worksheets on the screen and saw your video.Awesome.
I spent 2 hours yesterday trying to figure this out. Thanks for your direct, easy to follow instructions!!
This gentleman explains everything soooooooooo clearly
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!!
Thank you very much for such a nice way of teaching teachers. I am a teacher who were finding it hard to use technology for future teaching. This is the first video I have watched and I believe your videos can help me to transition into blended teaching/learning era. I like your calm style of teaching. Thanks again.
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!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I just edited 7 pages of pdf's using the snip tool. And the hack on dropping the page into the background makes my sheets look just like the Live Worksheets. Keep posting.
I'm only 2 and a half minutes in and this information has alREADY opened up so many more possibilities!!
Thank you, Sir.!
Thank you so much! This distance learning has been really stressful and this video was very helpful. The instructions were concise and easy to follow.
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!!!
I am the WORST tech person on earth - and you are the guy I needed. Thanks for being the best!!
You helped a fool become successful - at this one task 🙏🏼
I was doing this and having problems. This video cleared up my issues and now I'm doing it better!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Excellent! Everytime a question popped in my mind, you literally answered it in your next sentence. Thank you for being a pro! Very helpful as I prepare for remote learning.
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!
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!!!
I ran into this exact situation last week with a pdf that my students couldn’t edit. Thank you for providing this solution!
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.
You so easy to follow along with and to understand. You've become my HERO.
This video is wonderful !!!! Thank you so very much. I teach 2nd grade and most of my students don't have the knowledge to know how to get in and edit their papers. You've made my day.
Thank you, I figured out everything but setting it as a background. I knew there was a way to anchor it. You just made my time in virtual a lot easier.
💡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!
Great tip!
This just made my life so much easier. I had no idea about Google Classroom or Google Slides. During this time of being locked inside this makes teaching so much easier. THANK YOU!
OMG! I've watched about five of your videos one after another. You are so clear and succinct!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing your ideas with us! Great tutorial, exactly what I was looking for to create my materials! Keep on doing the good work! Love and respect all the way from Brazil! :0)
Thanks for all of the tips -it's very helpful during this remote learning experiment that we all find ourselves in at the moment. Using this for next weeks shared reading! Love it!
Thanks a Million. You spoke slow enough for me to actually follow. I have been trying to find this especially for our virtual learning this year.
Thank you! The background trick...genius.
I cannot thank you enough for this help! Bless you!
Omg!! I just started remote learning and this was so helpful!!!
Mind blown. I'm definitely using this! Thank you.
Thank you, Just what we were looking for.
Thank you so much! This is especially helpful for teaching during the pandemic.
You are amazing! I shared this with my colleagues! Thank you to the max.
Finally found the correct solution to most questions as to how to fill-in a PDF file! Wow! Awesome help, Sir! I will; share this to my co teachers as well. Great tip! Salute to you, as we are all migrating to Google G Suite for Education from MS.... :-)
Easy to listen to, easy to understand, easy to apply. You are a teacher extraordinaire! Thank you very much.
Can I "like" this 20 times? I really appreciate your clear and concise directions. New subscriber! Blessings to you 😁
This was AWESOME!!! Thank you sooooooo much!! Brief, simple, and to the point!!
This is Awesome and very essential for me to use for my diverse learners! This video was very helpful in showing me the different ways and steps in using the worksheets as Google Slides to enable the students to write on the sheets! I love your videos!
Wow! Thank you for taking your time when showing us how to transform a PDF into an Editable version. I think I understand how to do this.
Thanks so much for this tutorial. Your instructions are very easy to understand and I was able to be successful on my first try. My students are running out of printer ink, so this is a lifesaver!
You have just saved my life!!! Thank you for a great explanation!
Thank you! Finally, I got it! Great presentation!
Thank you so much. This is amazing, just what I was looking for.
This is most useful. I used to show teachers how to do this for their SMART Boards and never thought of doing this. You just saved me a ton of searching and it is much appreciated as Google doesn't think to include these best practices! Thanks Again!
Glad it was helpful!
Omg you are my new google classroom spouse and I am not letting you go anytime soon! LOL Seriously you are the Best!
This was just what I needed!!! Thank-you so much.
Finally, a user friendly video presentation. THANK YOU!
Awesome. I had to watch this one twice, because there is a lot of great information. I picked up more tips by watching it a second time.
Just a quick 'Thank You' for all your videos.
Glad you like them!
This was great! Downloaded as PowerPoint for Connect and worked great.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share that with us teachers. Much appreciated!!
This is the first video I found that discussed this trick and your explanation was clear and engaging. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. This will help out as now we are teaching digitally. I have many ideas to use this with.
This is very clear video. I didn't know you could change the size of the slide - now I do Thank you
God Bless You! Dinosaur teachers need folks like you to hold our hands!

You’re welcome!
This is awesome! I got it - had to save my snippets as jpegs.
Very clearly explained. I have shared this with many of my teacher friends

Loved the tutoria! Simple and easy to understand. I am teaching from home during this Covid19 pandemic and have to get a crash course on Google Slides. Thanks
You are very welcome!
Thank you for this video. With these times (pandemic) distance learning is a must and us teachers are learning as we go. Videos like this is what we need.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I love your presentations.
Thank you so much! this is very helpful and clear! I'm so excited
I just screen snip the original page, hit COPY, then go to my document (I use PowerPoint), hit change background to paste the screen snip straight in. No need to save it or anything. Boom! PowerPoint is so much easier to use for creation of resources. I then upload to my Google Drive (where it becomes a slide of course) to share with students. Then I let the add their own text boxes (I like your idea of the 'click here' box though, especially if teaching younger students.
Could you fill the text box with a very pale grey to draw the students attention to where they need to start typing?
@@rickpalmer3340 If the original doc wasn't a pdf (eg you might just have a page from a word or ppt doc that you want to freeze so students don't accidentally delete or move anything) then you could do that in the original by filling say, the cell of a table where you want them to write, or if it's ppt then just insert a SHAPE and alter the colors of that. That way, when you screen shot it to copy as a background it'll be grey. I can't see the point in doing that though. Just tell the kids to insert a text box in any gap where they want to write something. Easy peasy.
Thank you for an extremely clear explanation.
This was exactly what I was looking to do! Thank you so much for making this video!
This was extremely helpful wish I would have looked at this before getting so frustrated. #Distant Learning Teacher
Thank you so much for making PDF's editable :)
Just what I needed thank you !
Thank you! this was very easy to do and understand!
