What Is a Slide Deck?
Maybe you call them teaching presentations? Maybe you call them slideshows? Or maybe you're more familiar with the term PowerPoint. A slide deck is a series of slides used as a visual aid while you're teaching a lesson.
Our slide decks are designed with teachers' various needs in mind so you'll find Google Slides which can also be used by Microsoft PowerPoint users.
Oh, and did we mention that these slide decks for primary teachers are easy to customise? Make simple edits to differentiate instruction for your individual students' needs and include important definitions, explanations of key concepts, review questions and activities, links to additional worksheets and much more.
4 Ways to Use Google Slides in Your Classroom
So, how do you use Google Slides in the classroom? We realize this may sound obvious ... you use them to teach a lesson, of course.
But there are countless additional ways to make use of this tool that you may not already have in your plans, so let's dive in.
- After a lesson is complete, add your teaching slides to your students' Google Classroom. This way students who were absent can review the slides to catch up, and even students who were in class that day can use them as a reference tool.
- Send slides to parents. Parents often reach out, asking how they can help their children who are struggling to comprehend a particular topic. This is where teacher slides come in handy. You can easily email a link to parents so that they can review the content with their kids.
- Use Google Slides to flip your classroom. Are you trying a flipped classroom approach? Send your Google Slides out to students!
- Use Google Slides with small groups. You don't have to limit your slide deck presentations to whole class instruction. This format is also perfect for reviewing content with your small groups.
How Do You Use Google Slides in Google Classroom?

All you have to do is:
- Download the Google Slide resource.
- Make a copy.
- Create an assignment in Google Classroom.

What Are the Benefits of Using Google Slides in the Classroom?
With templates designed by teachers and rigorously reviewed by the expert teachers on the Teach Starter team, you'll find slides for just about everything you can think of in your classroom and then some. Here are some of the great benefits you'll quickly find!
Google Slides are easy to grade — you can grade from anywhere ... even your own kids' after-school practice!
- With Google Slides, it's easy to tell when kids are missing work.
- Because of the digital nature, parents can easily see their students' assignments.
- There's increased accountability.
- There are extra supports in place for a teacher when parents question a student's grade.
- You can quickly shift from in-person to remote learning when necessary.
- Individual pages in Google Slides can be downloaded as documents, PDFs, jpgs, and in other formats so you can easily print and edit!
- Our students are growing up in an increasingly digital world, and the use of slides — along side good, old-fashioned paper and pencil — will help prepare them for using technology tools in their future.
