Who Are We? (Slideshow)
I like to start each semester with a collaborative slideshow I build together with students. I create the initial slideshow which has student NAMES on blank slides already. (I'm fancy and use Alice Keeler's "Roster to Slides" Google Script to make these.)
Initially I let students only have VIEW ONLY access to the slideshow. We discuss:
Why it's important to ONLY edit their slide
How Google tracks the "version history" of slides, documents, sheets, etc. so anyone is able to "go back" and see exactly who made an edit on a given file
How we want to respect each other's work in our class, and we are starting with a collaboratively edited slideshow to PRACTICE this.
THEN I open the slideshow so "anyone with the link can edit" it.
This is the version of this assignment I last used in August 2023
Instructions for Students (shared in Canvas, Google Classroom, etc.)
Open this Google Slideshow (customize with your own student names)
on a class laptop or your iPad.
Please read and follow the instructions on slide 1!
Make edits to only YOUR slide!
Be careful to NOT MOVE your slide or other student's slides.
SUBMIT this assignment in Canvas for credit when you finish creating your slide, by typing "FINISHED" in the text box below.
