Birthday Board

It’s been a great first week back to school! Over the summer, many teachers attended our technology conference, Field Day of the Future, and afterwards I had several requests for this Birthday Board Google Slide activity that they saw in one the sessions. This year our students have access to Schoology and over the summer Schoology added Google Drive Integration, so the teachers were easily able to add the Slideshow template to their assignment within their Homeroom Course. Creating the assignment with the Google integration, it automatically makes a copy of the presentation for the students that they are able to edit. You can do some editing within Schoology itself, but the students seemed to like editing from their Google Drive. In Drive, students were able to take a picture to add to their slideshow, search for images, search for new fonts, etc.

Once their birthday slide was complete, the students went back to the Schoology tab and clicked submit. This sent all of their slides straight to their teacher through Google Drive and through Schoology! Their completed slides will be displayed on their birthday!
