Allowing Students to Respond using a Google Slide

SKIES makes it easier for students to respond with Google, and also makes it easier for teachers to MONITOR Google work! SKIES will automatically give each student their own copy, so you DON’T have to worry about permissions. SKIES will also give you notifications, and let you see ALL of their work in one place. And you can still take advantage of SKIES' fast grading features!

Here are the steps on how to allow students to respond with a new Google Slide:

1. Create a simple text card with instructions, for example, “Create your own presentation using the Google Slide”

2. Click the box beside Responses.

3. Then click Google Template.

4. Choose the option: a new Google Slide

5. SKIES will try to open a blank Google Slide in another tab. If you add anything to this document, it will be added to the template and appear on the students document. You can also add details to the template later, by clicking on the EDIT button in the middle of the card. NOTE: Since the document is opened in another tab, make sure to allow pop-up in your browser.

6. A preview of the Google slide will appear on the Teacher Control Panel. Click CONTINUE at the bottom of the card to hide it.

• Students will see a Google Slide icon (instead of the big blue + button).

• SKIES automatically creates 1 copy of the file for each student, when they respond.
