Episode 15: How I Use Google Slides to Organize Lessons, Provide Additional Resources for Students, and Save Time Planning

Listen Later

Sometimes the simplest tools make the biggest impact.

In this episode, I’m sharing one of my favorite organization hacks: the daily Google slide.

Each day of the school year gets its own slide with the date, learning intentions, success criteria, warm-up, agenda, and links to resources.

It’s a straightforward system, but the benefits are huge—for me, my students, parents, co-teachers, and even admin.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • What goes on a daily slide (date, objectives, warm-ups, agenda, and more).
  • Why slides beat paper planners, calendars, and even LMS systems for accessibility and efficiency.
  • How daily slides support students with special needs and English learners by giving them digital access and translation tools.
  • Time-saving tricks for linking assignments and resources directly into slides.
  • Ways parents, co-teachers, and admin benefit from having a simple, clear record of classwork and assignments.
  • Tips for creating, editing, and reusing slides week to week and year to year.

    Daily Google slides keep everyone on the same page, cut down on repeated tasks, and give my students confidence and independence. Whether you’re new to teaching or a seasoned pro, this is a tool worth trying.

    As always—keep inspiring, keep experimenting, and keep being awesome in your classrooms. Woot! Woot!
