5 ways to customize downloadable slides

1. Whole group instruction

Many teachers use the slides to help guide whole group instruction. They download the slides, add their own students’ names to the examples, and then project the slides onto a screen during class. Voila, whole class instruction!

2. Practice

Some teachers use the slides to create practice problems for students. They either print out the power point slide with the problem or they copy the problem and paste it into a word document. This helps them save time and create problems perfectly aligned with that day’s lesson. Where can you find content to turn into practice? See the next three slides

At the end of many lessons, you can find guided practice problems…

Extension activities…

And quick quizzes…

3. Manipulatives

Some teachers have turned visuals into manipulatives to use for hands-on work. This teacher didn't have bar models so he created these cutouts of images from the lesson.

4. Anchor Charts

Some teachers love anchor charts – visuals they can put up that stand as a reminder or “anchor” for what was taught. Here’s an example of a LearnZillion image that one teacher turned into an anchor chart.

5. Google presentations Now for something super innovative. Some teachers will convert the slides into a google presentation. Check out this example google presentation, and this guide on how to make your own presentation.” Why do this? If your students are logged into google accounts they can leave comments next to the slides. A virtual discussion can happen inside the slides and the teacher can read and respond to the discussion at any point.
