Roster to Slides

Quick way to provide a slide for each student in your class in the same Google Slides presentation.   Collaboration made easy!  
This is a great resource created by Alice Keeler!  This add-on will create a slide for each of your students allowing your class to work collaboratively on a single Google Slides document.  Simply follow the steps below and you will have a Slides presentation ready for your class to build  together on any topic you choose.
Roster to Slides
  1. Make a copy of this Google Sheet - Click here to make a copy
  2. From the add-on menu choose “Roster to Slides” - give them  a second to load
  3. Choose setup
  4. Authorize the script by clicking continue
  5. Choose your Google account and click “Allow”
  6. Paste or type your class roster into column A in the Sheets document
  7. From the add-on men choose “Roster to Slides” and choose “create slides”
  8. Script will run and create a Google Slides presentation in your Google Drive
  9. Go to your Google Drive and open the new Google Sheet called “Roster to Slides”.  
  10. You can rename this file by right clicking and choose rename if you would like.
This Google Slides document now has a slide with the student’s name followed by a blank slide for them to work on.  You can make the Google Slides available to your students through Google Classroom.  Simply make a new assignment and use this document, but be sure to NOT give each student a copy.  This will allow them to all work on the same presentation and add content to the slide you made for them. This is a great way to make a collaborative class assignment where each student is able to add their own specific piece to the overall project.
