GOOGLE Slides Notebook Teacher Instructions

1. Download Link for the Google Slide Product (found at the bottom of this page). 2. Sign into your Google Account. 3. Click FILE, MAKE A COPY, and engage while in the EDIT mode. Each student will need their own Google account if they will be working on their own Digital Interactive notebook using Google Slides. If your students will be using iPads, they will also need to download the Free Google Slides App for the digital notebook to work properly.

Before you and your students begin editing/filling in your digital notebook, it is VERY important to first save a copy of the file on your own Google Drive, and then edit the copy. Your students will follow these same steps when you share the file with them. YOU DO NOT WANT TO EDIT THE ORIGINAL FILE. To DELETE a Slide, right click on the slide on the left hand side and click DELETE SLIDE.

To DUPLICATE a Slide, right click on the slide on the left hand side and click DUPLICATE SLIDE.

To PRINT Slides, click FILE and then PRINT. CLICK BELOW TO ACCESS THE DIGITAL NOTEBOOK:
