I just wanted to thank you for speaking so clearly! I am deaf and while closed captions are usually very necessary for me, when I am watching a demonstration, they get in the way. I am so grateful that I didn't need to use the captions, for the first time ever in my entire life! This literally has never happened, so THANK YOU for being awesome!!
This is my 29th year in the classroom. Every time I watch one of your videos, I learn something new and useful. Thank you for teaching this old dog new tricks :-)
Old dog new tricks? Dawwwggggg ain’t old, and homie don’t gotta learn new tricks to be improved, they just gotta focus. I’m 12 and I’m a 7th grade student 😂😂
Thank you so much for making this video. As a new teacher having to jump into online teaching this has just saved my life and unnecessary time wasted trying to figure out how to do this.
FINALLY someone who starts from the very beginning to explain. I would like to see a video where you act as the student accessing the drag and drop activity and how they submit that to you as the teacher.
@@linnellevillegas1462 Could they just send the teacher/submit the link? If they know how to change the name to "Jane Doe's (original title)" even better!
@@linnellevillegas1462 If you're using Google Classroom, you make the slide through the assignment section of Google Classroom and assign a copy of the slide to each student and when they've completed the assignment they hit submit and the finished product gets sent to you for review.
Instead of saving everything as a png and inserting as a background, you can go to Slide then Edit master. Then you can fix typos and everything is still locked down. You can also duplicate that slide in edit master if you want multiple slides with a similar background. Thanks for always sharing great ideas!!
I feel you +Madame Maternelle But remember that she said that she was doing that so that the students that she assigns this to cannot move around anything on the assignment accept what she wants them to move around . She did this so that her students cannot ruin the assignment , get it now ? - Dwight
Thanks for the tips! Especially the one where you can create multiple copies and lay them over each other!! So useful for when I make Fundations activities where my kids drag and drop letters to spell words. You're amazing!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE your OCD with the font, alignment, and sizes! Your graphic design eye shows! I always become anxious when I see documents/slides that aren't aesthetically appealing! Thank you for teaching this, I am definitely using it as a social worker :)
Thank you for the time you take to make these videos! Much Appreciated! I love the copy and paste tip. I made a chore chart for my daughter and I had all the Xs she needed in columns and rows on the side of the slide. I just went back and aligned them to be on top of each other and place the stack of Xs on the slide. Thank you for that awesome tip!
28 years in education and having to learn all of these new tricks! Your 20 minute video was worth it. Can't wait for you to teach me more things. Very easy to follow and understand! Thank you so much!!!
Hello Ms. Ferre, I always go to your channel whenever I need something for my online classes. I adopted your Google Slides idea (color coding) for my first ever online class this coming week. Thank you so much for the insightful ideas you present in your channel. I started my tutorial channel because of you! Actually, as I planned my vlogs, Drag and Drop worksheets is my next project. Keep on posting! God bless! 💖
I wish there was a love button. I'm excited to implement Michelle's advice to "lock" things I don't want students to move by making them the background image. Brilliant!!!
Love you Michelle you really helped me to work with kids when I’m a little bit older Thankyou so much by the way I’m 13 years old and I want to be a teacher when I grow up
Thank you so much! !I just made a drag and drop activity with my students names and pictures. I'm so excited. Thanks for sharing all your ideas with us!
thank you for this awesome tutorial! The real gem in this was learning how to make the virtual space not moveable! I created a Christmas room and a tree to decorate for my students. They can drag and place items on their trees. They are also learning how to search, insert, resize items for their rooms. thank you thank you!
Michelle, I love this video!! I am definitely sharing this video with my teacher friends as soon as I finish writing this!! Love watching your videos from my patio on Sunday mornings when the weather is perfect!!Your tips and strategies are always spot on!! The idea of copying and pasting right over the original (to give you multiple options) is so smart! I of course love the UNDO button; it is a teacher’s best friend. I have had to use it more times than I want to admit.
I teach high school and this video gave me 10976765 ideas for synchronous activities with my students and filled my cup and got me excited to lesson plan!!
Wow, girl! You are an awesome presenter. You had me smiling the entire time. I was hoping to find a video that would help me create Google Slides activities and was very blessed that your video was on the top of my list for suggestions. I totally subscribed to your channel! And I've already began to recommend you to my colleagues at my middle school. Looking forward to learning more from you. -A 6th grade ELA teacher excited to learn
You are saving my life right now. I am a high school CTE teacher, and your videos are AMAZING. I am finding all sorts of ways to organize and make my online teaching more effective.
Thanks so much for showing me how to use Google Slides like Smart Notebook software. There are so many things I've missed about that software. The ability to share via GC makes the Google product slightly better.
Thank so so much for this video. You teach so explicitly that my old mind was able to grasp some concepts that I have been having difficulty with. I wonder if you could do a video on embedding a die or spinning wheel and using a double screen - showing two things at one time. Thank and I look forward to continuing to learn from you.
This was absolutely amazing. I made a "Label the 7 Continents of the World" as you made "Label the States". I am so excited! I am new at all this and that was the best 20 minutes I have spent in a long time! I will be watching you more. I have to learn Canvas too! Thanks
I love this thank you. I literally just searched how to do this and you popped up. Thank you. I would really love more tutorials on how to make Google Products (G Suite) more interactive.
This is a lifesaver! I am a volunteer tutor, just learning to use Google Classroom and was trying to figure out how to let students draw a line to connect multiples in order or move things and it never occurred to me to use Google Slides, which are so much more useful than I ever realized. Thank you so much.
I just want to let you know that you have saved my life during Distance Learning. You have such wonderful ideas and you present articulately and succinctly. I am so fortunate to have found your tutorials. Thank you very much.
I am moving from 1st to Kindergarten but we used these for every subject and I feel that these will be my best friend for Kinder next year along with her Teaching Lessons with Google Slides as well!
I have used this video to make many drag and drop assignments especially at the beginning of the school year, and now that I am teaching a new subject. Great job and thank you!
My first grader and I have been enjoying our virtual curriculum here in Middle Tennessee! As his educational coach working with his teacher remotely (both synchronously and asynchronously), I have been trying to find fun and easy ways to present his assignments without the use of a printer. His teacher frequently sends along some of the assignments via email as attachments (.jpg and/or .pdf). Being that we do not have a printer in our home, I have been trying to come up with paperless solutions. Being a lover of Google Slides, I knew it would work in translating many of these printable document-based assignments into paperless assignments, but you took what I already knew to the next level! I already had the knowledge of "locking" certain aspects by making them the slides' background, but your copy and place multiples of the drag-able manipulative aspects was exactly what I needed! Thank you so much for posting this! I'll share it along to my son's teacher and see if I can help him make some of these assignments easier paperless-friendly learning experiences!
I am wondering if there is a way to make the drag and drop activity self grading so the students can use it as a self assessment tool. I really liked the way you layered the moveable boxes. Great ideas!
Hello Michelle. Thank you so much for this week's video. I learned that you can put the numbers over the numbers. I haven't done that yet. Good tip! I also started to put things on the slde of the slide from tips that you put in a previous video. My aunt lives in Annapolis and I absolutely love it down there! Hope you have a great week. 2 weeks left. We can do this!
Thank you for explain/showing how to use multiple boxes of the same number! That's what I was needing to learn! Your expertise in this will make me look "cooler" to my students!
Thank you so much for showing these. It's my first year teaching and it's during a wild year. You are helping me grasp this technology and I can't say how much I appreciate it.
I LOVE all of your videos and come back to them multiple times. I will admit the music you have added to many of your presentations, while I enjoy it, I do find it a bit distracting and harder to focus on what you are explaining. Thank you for taking so much of your free time to help fellow teachers-WE APPRECIATE IT!!
You are WONDERFUL! It is so easy to follow you. I am sharing your videos with every teacher I know!!!!! I'm an older teacher (started teaching in 1985) and am slowly conquering a variety of technology. You make it fun with your peppiness and well explained examples. I feel like I can make things. I am looking forward to applying everything to design activities for my Spanish lessons so that they are more interactive for my students.
I am so thankful for all your tutorials- I´ve just got moved from an EAL class to a Regular class. All of these are like diamonds for me---ready to start off my virtual lessons! Thank you so much!!
This is such a great tutorial. I love the suggestion for downloading it into PPT to get a crisp image. I'm working on something I want to use over and over and am glad to find a way to make it look professional.
I knew I could find a video you did on this topic. You make it so easy for me. Thank you so much! I learn so much from you (21 year veteran teacher here).
I teach middle school Spanish, and Michelle's tutorials are wonderfully adaptable to any level/subject! Thanks, Michelle!! My district has MS Office 365, so I'm learning more and more from you about Google products and there are things that you have taught us, that I don't think I can do with MS. Fortunately, I can still create on Google slide and download to PPT! I love the things that I've created following your tutorials! You've been a lifesaver for hybrid teaching!
Hi Michelle, love your videos! I have a question. In one of your videos (teaching portfolio) you mention that you wanted to create a digital interactive portfolio. I know at that moment was just a thought, but did you ever do it? I looked through the playlist and couldn’t find anything. Can you link it in you next video? Thank you for keeping us current. God bless you!
I finally subscribed to your channel after watching many of your videos! You are easy to follow and listen to and you don't repeat yourself over and over! Thank you!! Very useful info.
In Google Classroom, choose the option to Make a Copy for each student when you create the Assignment. Then when the kids finish the assignment, they go back to the Assignment *within Google Classroom*, and that's where they Turn it In. The Turn In button doesn't appear on the actual Slides deck once the kids have their own copy. It will only be on the Assignment in Classroom.
Thank you so much!!!! I never comment on videos, like EVER! But you helped me out so much!!! I am so excited to use these techniques!!! You are awesome. Thanks for sharing!
I use Google Classroom Comment Bank to address common mistakes but I may try having students share screenshots to a google Form, a Padlet or a Google Photos album and discuss them.
Dear Michelle, Thank you very much for making this video. I made my first drag and drop assignment today thanks to this video. This will make my teaching so much easier and better. Thanks! Elyse
Hi Michelle, When a student drags something, do the other students see the items that were dropped? Do you send out individual GoogleSlides to each individual student? Tip: rather importing an image as the background, you can use View -> Master -> Upload Image That will "lock" the image without degrading the quality.
Create an Assignment and add your Slides deck to it in Google Classroom, and choose the option to Make a Copy for each student. They will all get their own copy that they will be able to edit. Then they can go back to GC and turn it in when they're done. Students will only be able to see what they've done to their own copy.
@@traciebosket I've not use Canvas so I'm not sure. But if you create a Google Slides deck , you can create a Shareable Link. After you do that, copy the link and paste it somewhere. Then change the very end of the link, beginning with the word 'edit' and anything that follows it to 'copy' (but don't use the apostrophes). I'm guessing you can share links in Canvas? If so, you just share the link you edited. When students visit it, it will force them to make a copy. They would have to be logged into Google first though. That's the only other way I can think of that you can easily get copies to all your students via Canvas.
Thank you for creating this presentation. I can see and feel your passion for teaching. Your students are very lucky to have an Educator of your caliber.
Loved this - it was just what I was looking for!! I am wondering trying to think through what it looks like when you share it with the students. Do you have to encourage them to make a copy. The following step is what I am confused with
Here is a link to another one of Michelle's video explaining how to share a Google Slides assignment with the whole class. Hope this helps. ruclips.net/video/mDBO40_qmt4/видео.html
Create an Assignment and add your Slides deck to it in Google Classroom, and choose the option to Make a Copy for each student. They will all get their own copy that they will be able to edit.
Thank you so much. This video was really helpful and I appreciate your great directions. I am almost 58 trying to create new ways for my students to do math for online learning. I created a drag and drop for place value. It turned out great.
How do you share these onto Google Classroom so students can “TURN IN” when done? Or Will you assign the slide as a “copy for each student” and you can go in a view their work and mark it manually?
I am so interested in the answer to this too. I see it has been asked a lot but no-one has come up with an answer. Anyone out there that can provide a solution???
I'm going to try using Doctopus to share out copies to each individual student. This is an Add-On in Google Sheets. To use it you begin in a Google Sheet. Manage Add-Ons and go from there. You will enter each student's name and email. Once you build a roster, you can use it again and again. After the Slide Set is distributed, you as the teacher can control their access and look at each student's work. I generally use this for essays, but I want to try it for sorting activities. As for turning it in, they could take a screen shot and turn in the photo if it is a one page activity. For multiple slides, they might have to save as a PDF or video before submitting to our LMS. (Not using G. Classroom)
In Google Classroom, click on "create assignment", then click "add", select Google Drive to find the activity that you just created, then to the right of the title, click "make a copy for each student" then click "assign". For a visual of these steps, go to this video and start it at 10:20. Hope this helps! :-)
I have used Google Classroom for a few years, but I have learned so much from you about using Google Slides! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and I love your enthusiasm! I bet your students adore you. Keep sharing tech tips so students all over can enjoy learning in a variety of ways. Thank you!
Most likely this would be assigned via google classroom or something similar where each student gets a copy and they turn it in. We can go in and shuffle through responses quickly to grade via the assignments/grading section.
It's kind of like how do they ever know when they are doing work right, even in the classroom. We do one together via screen share or zoom, and monitor their work and give them feedback. And if they do it completely independently and still get it wrong, it opens doors to talk about how they interpretted the instructions. Maybe they didn't do it wrong according to their intrepretation, if you know what I mean? Which then helps us improve our ability to give clearer instructions.
As far as knowing whether their answer is correct, I think this is intended for the teacher/para to grade or classmates can compare if they have the same answer.
Wondering how to assign this as an activity, I have been sending a presentation to kiddos, but you said here that it doesn't move in publish/presentation mode... Can you explain that part?
I believe, if memory serves me correct, you assign this through Google Classroom and you will select "make a copy for each student" when you assign it. Then each student will have a copy of this in their Drive that they can complete and "turn in" to Classroom.
Angi Yowell so that means they have to leave the classroom assignment and go look for it in their Drive to get the copy of the slides? Because I know the one I assign to them (and yes I have given them each a copy) doesn’t work/move. I tried it as one of my students who was doing all the assignments.
@@isabellesunn2151 The kids don't have to leave Google Classroom and go look for the Slides assignment in their Drive. It's right there on the Assignment in Google Classroom. They click on it and open it up and then they have their own copy. I assign Slides projects via Google Classroom all the time. I always choose the option to Make a Copy for each student. I've never had a problem with students being able to move the movable objects within them.
Mrs. Grimes yes I know how to do that but the children who were doing the assignments on an iPad said the active was not interactive- they couldn’t click and drag the pictures or the words . Most ended up making it a matching activity. It was fine but I just want to know if there is another way because sometimes when they drew lines to match it was a disaster!
Thank you so much for all the tips and tricks. I use them all the time with our students. I am usually ok with technology but am lost when it comes to google docs, slides, etc. Thanks again
Amazing! Besides creating an assignment on google classroom and giving each student their own copy, is there a way to share a drag and drop activity so that each student could work individually?
Since this pandemic began, I've been learning a lot about technology. You are by far the best teacher of this! I've watched so many of your videos already and really learned a ridiculous amount! They are so worthwhile and helpful (and not ridiculously long). You make everything so much easier. Thanks for making all of them!
You can't lock the shapes, images, or text boxes in Google Slides. Students will still be able to move and edit them, even accidentally. Hopefully one day Google will make that feature possible.
That's what I was going to ask. If you "assigned a copy to all students" on google classroom. Then YOURS isn't messed up. And--THIS question...Would they be able to "submit" it and we would see the map etc with states labeled?
Hello your drag and drop was sooooo helpful for me. We are doing a spelling strategy project in the district I work in. I enjoy techy stuff. I was able to make 9 weeks of word sorts to contribute to our project. Thank you for sharing!

Well I know what I'm going to be doing when I'm not studying for my certification 😂 I'm so excited for this!! Thank you!
I LOVE all of your videos and come back to them multiple times. I will admit the music you have added to many of your presentations, while I enjoy it, I do find it a bit distracting and harder to focus on what you are explaining. Thank you for taking so much of your free time to help fellow teachers-WE APPRECIATE IT!!
Wish I knew this when we initially started virtual school last March! Thank you!
You are WONDERFUL! It is so easy to follow you. I am sharing your videos with every teacher I know!!!!! I'm an older teacher (started teaching in 1985) and am slowly conquering a variety of technology. You make it fun with your peppiness and well explained examples. I feel like I can make things. I am looking forward to applying everything to design activities for my Spanish lessons so that they are more interactive for my students.
Is there a way to make this activity self-correcting? OR do I need to supply an answer sheet or slide?
This was a really great video! I had always wondered how teachers made these drag and drop activties, now I know how to do it :) Thank you
I simply love your tutorials! Thank you for sharing and commitment to improving technology among teachers!
I am so thankful for all your tutorials- I´ve just got moved from an EAL class to a Regular class. All of these are like diamonds for me---ready to start off my virtual lessons! Thank you so much!!
This is such a great tutorial. I love the suggestion for downloading it into PPT to get a crisp image. I'm working on something I want to use over and over and am glad to find a way to make it look professional.
Thank you for this, as google classroom is very important right now, I needed to know much more things to do with google slides.
You are a life saver with your Google Slide videos. God Bless You!!❤
What is there to “thumbs down” about this video?? 🙄😒....but anyhoo THANKS SO MUCH MICHELLE!! This was extremely helpful ☺️
That's EXACTLY what I just said!
I knew I could find a video you did on this topic. You make it so easy for me. Thank you so much! I learn so much from you (21 year veteran teacher here).
Would love to see your take in digital notebooks for each student
I teach middle school Spanish, and Michelle's tutorials are wonderfully adaptable to any level/subject! Thanks, Michelle!! My district has MS Office 365, so I'm learning more and more from you about Google products and there are things that you have taught us, that I don't think I can do with MS. Fortunately, I can still create on Google slide and download to PPT! I love the things that I've created following your tutorials! You've been a lifesaver for hybrid teaching!
Hi Michelle, love your videos! I have a question. In one of your videos (teaching portfolio) you mention that you wanted to create a digital interactive portfolio. I know at that moment was just a thought, but did you ever do it? I looked through the playlist and couldn’t find anything. Can you link it in you next video? Thank you for keeping us current. God bless you!
Thank you for making my life so easy with technology! You have simplified so much for me.
This is a great idea. So, do you assign it in google classroom and create a copy for each student? Does it grade them or show if they are correct?
Was wondering the same?
You would have to grade each one in GC, and then there will be an option to Return to the student. Then they'll be able to see their grade.
@@mrs.grimes987 Do I create a copy for each student? How do I share links with each student? thank you in advance.
I finally subscribed to your channel after watching many of your videos! You are easy to follow and listen to and you don't repeat yourself over and over! Thank you!! Very useful info.
This was extremely helpful. Would students submit by "Sharing" or is there better way?
In Google Classroom, choose the option to Make a Copy for each student when you create the Assignment. Then when the kids finish the assignment, they go back to the Assignment *within Google Classroom*, and that's where they Turn it In. The Turn In button doesn't appear on the actual Slides deck once the kids have their own copy. It will only be on the Assignment in Classroom.
Thank you so much!!!! I never comment on videos, like EVER! But you helped me out so much!!! I am so excited to use these techniques!!! You are awesome. Thanks for sharing!
Michelle, '
How do the students know that they are correct with "drag and drop" practice problems?
That is my question too. I would like them to be able to self-correct.
I use Google Classroom Comment Bank to address common mistakes but I may try having students share screenshots to a google Form, a Padlet or a Google Photos album and discuss them.
Dear Michelle, Thank you very much for making this video. I made my first drag and drop assignment today thanks to this video. This will make my teaching so much easier and better. Thanks! Elyse
Hi Michelle, When a student drags something, do the other students see the items that were dropped? Do you send out individual GoogleSlides to each individual student? Tip: rather importing an image as the background, you can use View -> Master -> Upload Image That will "lock" the image without degrading the quality.
Create an Assignment and add your Slides deck to it in Google Classroom, and choose the option to Make a Copy for each student. They will all get their own copy that they will be able to edit. Then they can go back to GC and turn it in when they're done. Students will only be able to see what they've done to their own copy.
@@mrs.grimes987 Ah, does that only work in Google Classroom? We have Canvas so I am not sure if I would be able to replicate that.
@@traciebosket I've not use Canvas so I'm not sure. But if you create a Google Slides deck , you can create a Shareable Link. After you do that, copy the link and paste it somewhere. Then change the very end of the link, beginning with the word 'edit' and anything that follows it to 'copy' (but don't use the apostrophes). I'm guessing you can share links in Canvas? If so, you just share the link you edited. When students visit it, it will force them to make a copy. They would have to be logged into Google first though. That's the only other way I can think of that you can easily get copies to all your students via Canvas.
@@mrs.grimes987 Nice! I did know about that. I am going to try it. Thanks!
@@mrs.grimes987 Thanks Mrs. G
Thank you for creating this presentation. I can see and feel your passion for teaching. Your students are very lucky to have an Educator of your caliber.
Loved this - it was just what I was looking for!! I am wondering trying to think through what it looks like when you share it with the students. Do you have to encourage them to make a copy. The following step is what I am confused with
I had the same question.
Here is a link to another one of Michelle's video explaining how to share a Google Slides assignment with the whole class. Hope this helps. ruclips.net/video/mDBO40_qmt4/видео.html
Always!!! Make a copy
Create an Assignment and add your Slides deck to it in Google Classroom, and choose the option to Make a Copy for each student. They will all get their own copy that they will be able to edit.
Thank you so much. This video was really helpful and I appreciate your great directions. I am almost 58 trying to create new ways for my students to do math for online learning. I created a drag and drop for place value. It turned out great.
How do you share these onto Google Classroom so students can “TURN IN” when done? Or Will you assign the slide as a “copy for each student” and you can go in a view their work and mark it manually?
I am so interested in the answer to this too. I see it has been asked a lot but no-one has come up with an answer. Anyone out there that can provide a solution???
I'm going to try using Doctopus to share out copies to each individual student. This is an Add-On in Google Sheets. To use it you begin in a Google Sheet. Manage Add-Ons and go from there. You will enter each student's name and email. Once you build a roster, you can use it again and again. After the Slide Set is distributed, you as the teacher can control their access and look at each student's work. I generally use this for essays, but I want to try it for sorting activities. As for turning it in, they could take a screen shot and turn in the photo if it is a one page activity. For multiple slides, they might have to save as a PDF or video before submitting to our LMS. (Not using G. Classroom)
Yes, you assign the slide as a "copy for each student" and check manually
@@nadiaestrada8187 Yep!
In Google Classroom, click on "create assignment", then click "add", select Google Drive to find the activity that you just created, then to the right of the title, click "make a copy for each student" then click "assign". For a visual of these steps, go to this video and start it at 10:20. Hope this helps! :-)
I have used Google Classroom for a few years, but I have learned so much from you about using Google Slides! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and I love your enthusiasm! I bet your students adore you. Keep sharing tech tips so students all over can enjoy learning in a variety of ways. Thank you!
This is great--just wondering if they are doing this on their own, how do they know if they were correct?
That's a good question.
Most likely this would be assigned via google classroom or something similar where each student gets a copy and they turn it in. We can go in and shuffle through responses quickly to grade via the assignments/grading section.
They could save and turn it in. Otherwise it is practice.
It's kind of like how do they ever know when they are doing work right, even in the classroom. We do one together via screen share or zoom, and monitor their work and give them feedback. And if they do it completely independently and still get it wrong, it opens doors to talk about how they interpretted the instructions. Maybe they didn't do it wrong according to their intrepretation, if you know what I mean? Which then helps us improve our ability to give clearer instructions.
As far as knowing whether their answer is correct, I think this is intended for the teacher/para to grade or classmates can compare if they have the same answer.
Your videos are so thorough and helpful! I love how you break everything down! It makes it so easy to understand!
Wondering how to assign this as an activity, I have been sending a presentation to kiddos, but you said here that it doesn't move in publish/presentation mode... Can you explain that part?
Yes why don’t they work on an iPad is my question.
I believe, if memory serves me correct, you assign this through Google Classroom and you will select "make a copy for each student" when you assign it. Then each student will have a copy of this in their Drive that they can complete and "turn in" to Classroom.
Angi Yowell so that means they have to leave the classroom assignment and go look for it in their Drive to get the copy of the slides?
Because I know the one I assign to them (and yes I have given them each a copy) doesn’t work/move. I tried it as one of my students who was doing all the assignments.
@@isabellesunn2151 The kids don't have to leave Google Classroom and go look for the Slides assignment in their Drive. It's right there on the Assignment in Google Classroom. They click on it and open it up and then they have their own copy. I assign Slides projects via Google Classroom all the time. I always choose the option to Make a Copy for each student. I've never had a problem with students being able to move the movable objects within them.
Mrs. Grimes yes I know how to do that but the children who were doing the assignments on an iPad said the active was not interactive- they couldn’t click and drag the pictures or the words . Most ended up making it a matching activity. It was fine but I just want to know if there is another way because sometimes when they drew lines to match it was a disaster!
Thank you so much for all the tips and tricks. I use them all the time with our students. I am usually ok with technology but am lost when it comes to google docs, slides, etc. Thanks again
Amazing! Besides creating an assignment on google classroom and giving each student their own copy, is there a way to share a drag and drop activity so that each student could work individually?
Since this pandemic began, I've been learning a lot about technology. You are by far the best teacher of this! I've watched so many of your videos already and really learned a ridiculous amount! They are so worthwhile and helpful (and not ridiculously long). You make everything so much easier. Thanks for making all of them!
Is there a way to keep them from resizing the items they are dragging? Can the shaped be locked in size etc?
This is my problems too! Did you ever figure this out? I teach first grade and they always resize the text boxes.
Jacqueline Stevens no I haven’t, sorry.
You can't lock the shapes, images, or text boxes in Google Slides. Students will still be able to move and edit them, even accidentally. Hopefully one day Google will make that feature possible.
I love watching your videos! They are so realistic and easy to understand. Thank you!!
Question for you....can you then assign this to google classroom where the students can do the activity and submit their answers to you?
That's what I was going to ask. If you "assigned a copy to all students" on google classroom. Then YOURS isn't messed up. And--THIS question...Would they be able to "submit" it and we would see the map etc with states labeled?
Humbled By Humanity yes as they would work on the slide presentation.
@ select "make a copy for each student"
Hello your drag and drop was sooooo helpful for me. We are doing a spelling strategy project in the district I work in. I enjoy techy stuff. I was able to make 9 weeks of word sorts to contribute to our project. Thank you for sharing!
HOW THE HECK are you able to teach, gym, marathon and run a very professional youtube channel?? are days 36 hours long in the states or something!?!
Thanks for all the amazing videos! I just got my first teaching job in fourth grade so I will definitely be rewatching your videos this summer :)
I love the presentation; however, the background music is a bit distracting.
The trick where you put multiple sets of numbers right on top of each other was mind-blowing!! Thank you for another great video!
