Google has recently unveiled a set of new templates for Google Slides, offering educators fresh and innovative ways to create engaging presentations for their classrooms. These templates are designed to save time and inspire creativity, making lesson planning more efficient and enjoyable.

Much like you would see in other popular slide presentation apps (ahem, Canva) these new templates provide not just one, but several slide designs in each template, many of them also including a slide at the end with all of the graphical elements for easy reusing throughout the project..

How to use Google Slides Templates

1. On your computer, open a presentation in Google Slides.
2. To use templates, at the top left, click Templates .
3. Click on the template you want to use.
4. You can choose to insert:
   • An individual slide: Click on the slide.
   • All slides from the template: Click Insert all slides.

By incorporating these templates into your teaching practice and exploring additional resources from educational websites, you can create more dynamic, interactive, and visually appealing content for your students. If I had one request to google, it would be to put the button for these new templates where they moved the Layouts tool was moved to and to put the layout dropdown back where it was previously. But … progress (I guess). Remember, these templates are fully customizable, so feel free to adapt them to best suit your classroom’s unique needs and your teaching style.
