These Google Slides and Canva videos are so helpful! Thank you for these time-saving tips!! And yes, please do more of these excellent videos. Your instructions are so clear and easy to follow.
You saved me when I taught virtually, full-time, during the pandemic. This was a great refresher! I'd like to see your drag and drop lessons!
Aww, yay! That's so nice to hear Natalie! I'm happy it was helpful for you and I appreciate your feedback! 🥰
Place holder versus text box 🤯. This was super helpful, Michelle!
Woohoo! I'm so happy it was helpful for you! 🎉🥰
Thank you, Michelle! This video is excellent. We have a new reading series, and it is kicking our behinds. We have to go through a maze to find everything. You have given me a great idea. You are the best!
Woohoo! I'm so happy this was helpful for you Deborah! Thanks for watching and hopefully you're able to use the ideas! 🥰🖤
I love how sets of colors can be set to show up on every Slides document! ❤
Yes! That's one of my favorite parts too!
Your videos are always so helpful! Thank you!
Thank you, Michelle! I had messed around with this in the past, but not in a systematic way. Then, of course, life got crazy and this exploration was put aside. This will be very helpful moving forward! Thank you, too, for the hex codes!
I completely understand but I'm happy to hear that this was helpful for you! 🥰 Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment!
This is amazing! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much! This was exactly what I requested and more! I now know why it was not working the way that I wanted. Everything I needed was there, but just in the wrong spot. This will make my new slides faster and better.
I love this! I didn’t know you could create your own theme! I have so many ideas of how I will use this now! This will make things so much easier when I want students to create slides in a specific way for class presentations! I seriously love your how-to videos and I often go back to many of them! Thank you so much! I hope you had a successful powerlifting meet! I can’t wait to hear all about it!
Aww, yay! I'm so happy you were able to learn from this tutorial and get some ideas on how to use this! Plus, it's always great when it will make it much easier for you and your students! 🥰 Also, thank you so much for the well wishes for my meet... I had a great time! 🎉
Thank you kindly for sharing your teacher technology video.
Soo helpful , thank you for all you do ! Seriously been a great inspiration to use Google Slides more often . ❤
Thank you so much Kylie! I appreciate that and am happy you found it helpful! 🥰🖤
Thanks for a great video, Michelle! Watching it made me think about how quickly technology can adapt as more features are made available. Teaching and technology go hand in hand, as the students will become the next leaders in technology. I'm always amazed at the tech skills my third graders have already! 😁 In short, these technology tutorials are so valuable because they help us provide more resources for our students to become digital citizens and to create something of value. When they see what their teacher produces and presents, they are inspired to also use technology. I hope you have a wonderful week ahead! 💜
Aww, thank you so much as always Mandy! I'm with you... my fourth graders always surprised me with how techy they were! It's a great skill to have in a modern society for sure. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment, just as you do every week. I hope you're having a great school year so far and this weekend has been relaxing for you! 🥰🎉🖤
Sooooo useful Michelle! Thanks a million!

Nice presentation
Thank you ..

Thanks Michelle! I will have to try this out! Can you make a mobile version for us too?
All your videos are great! I would like a drag-and-drop one using theme slides.
Thank you so much for watching, commenting, and sharing your feedback! 🥰
Another super helpful video! I love all the Google tools but definitely feel like tutorials like yours make them more user friendly. Thank you! Is there a way to sort and organize slides and files? I noticed when you went to your drive you had just a few neat, colourful folders and I have no idea how to do that. My slides are all just chaotically there in my drive lol. Would love a turorial on how to better organize folders in the drive/slides/docs if possible.
Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to comment Britt! I'm so happy my tutorials are helpful for you 🥰 I have a video on how I organize my Google Drive using the color coded folders... here's the link:

Thanks,
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I’ve been making slides forever but always stayed away from using Theme builder. Thanks for sharing! I’ll be doing this! 😊
You're very welcome and hopefully this was helpful! 🥰
I bought the planner also 😃 got a lot of questions though 😅
Woohoo! I hope you love it! If you haven't already, definitely start by watching the tutorial video here:

Thank you Michelle, I really love these videos. My question however is, can these slides to downloaded in order to be used at where there's no internet? Thanks.
You can make the slides available offline! I talk more about that in this video:

Michelle, Thank you for this tutorial! I know I will create my own themes now! I was wondering if it would be possible to create student notes for different units with google slides and a theme I have created. I teach high school biology. Maybe other teachers would have ideas on how to create student notes as well. I need to print and use as hand-outs for students.
Aww, thank you so much for your kind feedback Angie! I'm so happy it was helpful for you! You can definitely do that... you can use slides as a blank canvas to create anything you would like. You can resize the slides to be a 8.5x11 size which would be best for printing as handouts. From there, you can design the slide theme using the steps I showed in this video to fit your needs. If you have a specific question, let me know!
Is there an option to do a video placeholder?
So I bought you Google planner and absolutely love it. I have a question though. On the weekly lesson plans there are text boxes to put each days lessons. I like to use billets, but they invent too far and hang over too far. How can I change the default for those so that every text box has the settings I want and not the one that I don’t want? I hope this is not too difficult to understand. Thanks!!
Same question.
Hi Angela! Great question! There isn't a way to set the "default" for the indent of the bullets but you can set the indent the way you want it using the ruler at the top and then use the format painter tool to apply that same setting to other text boxes. If you need a specific step-by-steo guide on how to do this, please send me an email at pocketfulofprimary@gmail.com and I'd be happy to help!
Another amazing video from you! Thank you for sharing all of your tricks of the trade! I have learned a lot from you over the years. 😁One question regarding templates, there is a # in the bottom right hand corner of the slide-building template. I typed in the year (so that I can remember when I made it!) yet it does not show on new presentations. I have not figured out how to fix this problem. Can you help me with this?
Hi Teresa and thank you so much for all your kind words! 🥰 I'm happy you've been able to learn from my content! I would suggest adding a separate text box and typing the year in instead of typing it in the # at the bottom. Hopefully that helps!
Well Michelle,
A LOT of things are changing. Trust me.
Some of them are good and some of them I need your beautiful happy face to help me cope with.
Have you ever thought about becoming a Tech Teacher?

Thanks for watching and commenting as always Dwight!
Can you change the page layout to 8.5 x11 in the theme builder? Going to try 😂
I did it!
How come I don’t see the arrow next to the text box? I can’t do text holder.
Are you in the theme builder? If you're just looking at the text box option on the main screen in slides, you won't see the placeholder option. You have to be in the theme builder to see that option.
First and early!!
Woohoo! Thanks for tuning in and watching!
@@PocketfulofPrimary .. YOU REPLIED THIS is THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE
What does it mean if my google slides does not have the placeholder option?
It should be there... are you sure you're in the theme builder and not just looking at the regular text box option? You'll only see it in the theme builder.
