I had this request by many teachers! I have coded for you the ability to take your roster from a Google Doc and create a seating chart in Google Slides. Each name on the roster is added to a Google Slides as it’s own moveable text box. Note: I teach high school math. Part time I work as a developer for Schoolytics.
Start with a Google Doc
This Add-on is for Google DOCs. It will create a Google Slides with the names of your students arranged in a customizable grid.

Create Google Slides
After pasting a roster of your student name in the Google Doc, click on “Create Google Slides” in the sidebar of Seating Chart Slides by Schoolytics. This will create a new Google Slides with each students name in its own individual text box. This seating chart is customizable. Drag names around to change the seating arrangement.
