Is it possible for you to share your original PPT file? I'd like to be able to customize colors and backgrounds, but love your structure and don't want to start from scratch.
Hi, Kenan! Unfortunately it would not work if I shared the original PPT file because I used fonts I purchased versus system fonts (meaning that the formatting would mess up when shared). I also bought the digital paper, etc. so it sharing it out in that way would not protect the intellectual property of those creators. You're welcome to use the template I shared in the description box! Otherwise you would need to make your own, though.
Hi Kim, just r wanted to tak time to thank you for this wonderful slideshow. I too needed support learning to use newer tech and apps when we were all caught in the Covid thing. I've used your Meet the Teacher presentation for now going on 3 years. I've loved this! Thanks so much for sharing!
Great content as always, luckily I teach high school so we have “open house” usually the 4th week of school. Any teacher reading this I just want you to take a deep breathe. We got this 💕
Quick tip: you can choose "publish to the web" under file menu, and this will enable you to make sure it is IN Present Mode for your students. It can be embedded in your website or however you choose to share it.
This was an AWESOME tutorial!! I am a BT and was wracking my brain as to how to do a virtual meet the teacher and I was blessed to find this video. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
My school just got word that we will have a virtual meet the teacher and I was wondering how to make it more personal. Thank goodness you uploaded this! It has such great ideas and makes me ten times more excited to plan for our meet the teacher!
Love this idea! I’d also suggest If you have Canva, Canva has PowerPoint slides you can create with tons of different fonts. You can plug in videos, pictures, etc . It may be easier since most of the PowerPoints are already set up .
This is so well done and thoughtful of you to share your work with us. I am all about GIFS right now. WOWO! I hope you have found a new position. I saw that you have a vlog about being displaced. I am so sorry. You are vibrant, smart, easy to listen to and provide insightful PD for the global community. Wishing you all the best!
My teacher friend and I just had a fun afternoon today using some of your ideas and creating our own Virtual Meet The Teacher slides! Just what we needed in this quarantine to get this year started. Thanks!
I'm going into my first year of teaching as a fifth grade teacher this fall! Thank you so much for the tips and template ❤ I love learning from all the teachers that share their knowledge on YT😍
We are starting our year 100% online in our district hear in San Antonio; this will be so helpful. Thank you to you and Ashley for this! I have learned so much from her too! ❤️
Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate all that you shared and all the how-tos! I'm almost done and will share it with you as soon as it's completed!
This is great! I'm going to have to look into doing this. I'm not sure what school will look like yet in September where I am, but this is a great way to reduce any feelings of anxiety and stress the students and parents may have. You look friendly and welcoming and it's personal even though it's online teaching. Great job. Thank you for sharing.
This is awesome! FYI you can remove backgrounds really easily using the site remove.bg. Google Slides actually does have quite a few fonts and you can also search a "walls and floor" background to get a background similar to what you used. My teachers don't have PP or Macs so we have to create in Slides. Your tips are awesome and extrremely inspiring! Thank you for generously sharing your hard work! This is what true collaboration is all about!
I'm going into my first year of teaching as a SPED Resource teacher at an elementary school and I've been looking for cute virtual meet the teacher ideas. This is the most unique and cute idea I've seen!!! I'm also getting a little nervous about the start of year (especially with it being virtual AND my first year) so this template is SUPER helpful. Thank you! 💕
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will be purchasing something off of your wish list as a think you. I love teachers that share! God Bless and have a great year!
Thank you so much for this! I am new to all of this but with your instructions and links it was easy even for this tech challenged person! Thanks again!
Thank you for this tutorial video and the free template. Most importantly, thank you for inspiring me. After completing my slideshow like yours I am excited to start a new year! Thanks again!
Even though I'm not a teacher (I'm a student that's starting my junior year of high school over distanced learning next week), I admire this. The amount of effort and work you put into the slideshow is amazing, and it makes me appreciate my teachers even more than it already did. I hope this school year is good, and good luck on distance learning :3
WOW! I can not thank you enough for your video and Google Slide template! I spent a fun time with my teaching partner and we both made our new Virtual Meet the Teachers for this year! Thank you for your hard work and inspiration!
My meet the teacher night is virtual this year, thanks for sharing a fun example PowerPoint! As a first year teacher everything virtual learning is brand new and a little overwhelming.
You totally rock!!! I'm so glad young(er) people are making videos!! You are helping me to connect to my students and stay hip! Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you so much for sharing your Meet the Teacher Slideshow! We were told to prepare a virtual option just in case, and I had no idea where to begin. This is perfect!
Hey Kim I love your vlogs I really enjoy them so much I can't wait until the School year starts even though it's going to look a little different I'm excited hope you enjoy your 1st year in 5th grade it's going to be fun I'm also going to be a 1st year 8th grade teacher
THANK YOU for sharing this!! I absolutely love how you laid everything out. I wanted to let you know I downloaded the template but because I almost exclusively use google, my PPT was super out of date and couldn’t do the gradient text (which I loved). I figured out how to do that and the text outline on google! I also went to TPT and purchased similar digital paper because I love the way it looks. You’ve got great design taste. Thanks again for providing this outline! Looking forward to using it as a resource for adding my own videos and gifs (such a great idea!)
Kim this is seriously AMAZINNNNNG! We just found out that our meet the teacher will be virtual as well. I will def be using this. Thank you for taking the time to share this with us! 💚
I ABSOLUTELY love this and will be making one for my students. Google voice is the BOMB! Its also a record or calls and texts made to/from parents -, definitely comes in handy!
Thank you for creating this video! I was in a slump...had a long to-do list, but was unsure of how to get started. Your video gave me the inspiration and motivation to begin.
this is so incredible!!!!! Thank you for the free resource! What a blessing! I have a teacher partner (we share homerooms) and I plan on making this with her so the kids can get to know both of us! :)
I just finished my slide show now and I absolutely love it. Thank you so much for all your great ideas. I really want my students to feel excited. The tools you showed will add that flair. I love your channel. Keep up the amazing work!
Kim, this is amazing! and the fact that you are sharing the template for free you deserve all the free Starbucks; let me know how I can hook you up! Thank you for walking us through with a tutorial as well. Keep being amazing and thanks for bringing so much positivity to this space I'm so glad that I found your videos and Instagram (your first year of teaching).
This is AMAZING! We have to complete an open house video by this Friday & I was brainstorming what to do. Your template is beyond helpful. Thank you for sharing this with teachers around the world. I can't wait to begin!
