That’s it! I hope this helps you get your PDF worksheets up on Google Slides so that you can assign them digitally. By changing the link in this way, students will be forced to make a copy of the document into their own Google Drives and will be able to type on their own personal copies of the worksheet. BUT BEFORE YOU assign it, you need to find the word EDIT in the link (should be somewhere near the end of the link) and DELETE the word EDIT AND EVERYTHING THAT FOLLOWS IT.Īfter deleting these items, REPLACE them with the word COPY. Once you have the link, copy it and paste it onto a document or onto a Google Classroom assignment. So, here’s what to do instead:Ĭlick on the SHARE button on the top right-hand corner of your Google Slide. This is important to do because you do NOT want to share out an editable copy to students because someone could end up changing the document for ALL students, and you don’t want to share out a VIEW ONLY copy because then students won’t be able to type on the lesson or do anything with it. There’s a simple trick to share out lessons from Google Classroom so that students copy them into their own Google Drives. Step THREE: share the link to the Google slide If you don’t do this, your students might have trouble finding where they need to type.įinally- be sure to give your Google Slide a TITLE :) I also add the words “Type here…” to each text box so that students can see where to type. Once you’ve added your text boxes, be sure to set the font and font size that you will want students to type in… because I guarantee that students will use whatever font is in that box and won’t bother changing it. Once you’ve done this, you will want to add text boxes onto the worksheet where you want students to type text. So, when you select BACKGROUND, you will upload your worksheet picture to set it as the background image. This will make the worksheet immovable, which is what you want. So, to circumvent this issue, you will want to go to BACKGROUND in order to insert the worksheet picture as a background image. You DO NOT WANT the worksheet to be moveable because students will have issues with it moving around as they try to type on it. Now, if you simply go to INSERT PICTURE, this will create a problem for you and your students because the image will be moveable. Once your slide is in the correct dimensions, it’s time to insert the picture file of the worksheet. Once there, select the CUSTOMIZE option and change the dimensions of the slide to 8.5”x 11”. Here are the steps to do that:ĭelete the text boxes that are currently on the slide. So, we need to change the slide so that it is the same size as our worksheet. Now, we all know that a standard PowerPoint slide is NOT the same size as piece of paper… and we all have those dimensions engrained into our brains: 8.5”x 11”. The next part of this process is to go to Google Slides and open up a new slide. STEP TWO: INSERT WORKSHEET ONTO A GOOGLE SLIDE Nonetheless, you need that worksheet as a picture because you are going to insert it onto you Google Slide in the next step.

Again, I would turn to Google for help in figuring out how to make the cutout.Īs you can see, taking a screenshot is much more involved than simply saving the file as a picture from the PDF doc. Once you figure out how to take the screenshot, you will want to open the file and take a specific cutout of what you need. Simply ask Google: “How do I take a screenshot on a PC?” It will probably involve something like selecting the PRINT SCREEN (PrtScn) button on your keyboard or selecting ALT + PrtScn. The best way to figure out how to take a screenshot on your computer is to ask Google. There are various ways to do this, and it will differ depending upon what kind of computer you have. You will want to select the option that says “Export as” and then select a photo file such as JPEG or PNG to save the image as a picture.Īnother way to do this is to take a screenshot of the worksheet.
Then, you will right-click on the thumbnail image on the left-hand side, and some options will appear. The first thing I do is open up the PDF file and go to the worksheet that I want to save as a picture. Now, for this step, there will be various ways to accomplish this task, but I am going to share how I save a PDF file as a picture. Step One: Save Your PDF Worksheet as a Photo
