I have been overtly pushy to everyone I know about Google Slides being the ONLY website/program that you need to create anything and everything. Every worksheet, rubric, or document that I need to make for students, I make it in Slides. The ability to manipulate and move anything anywhere makes this my go-to program (sorry Google Docs and Microsoft Word...you're out!). To start, I always change the page settings: You can change them to any paper size you need, and just change it to 11x8.5 if you want the document to be landscape instead of portrait. Then, you can move and create boxes and shapes however you'd like! I'm always trying new ways to move and create boxes to keep papers interesting - here are some of my favorites that I've made recently: This is a set of notes on the Crusades. Making the transition to any new format is hard - just this year is when I really started to get into the habit of clicking "create a google slide" rather than automatically going to Google Docs or Microsoft Word. Trust me though...you'll never go back once you make the switch!
