Daily Agenda Slides

Quickly add a slide to the TOP of Google Slides™ with the day and date. Use one slides to display the daily objective and agenda all year! Easily share with students and guardians.

Collects NO user data.

Instead of Write the Objective on the Board

One of the problems with writing the objective on the board is that it gets erased. Parents and guardians can not see what is on the board. What I have done for years is use a Google Slides to display the objective. As students walk in the door I am projecting the daily agenda slides.

The SAME Google Slides Every Day

I use the SAME Slides daily. I do not delete the agenda from the day before. Instead, I add a new slide to the top of the existing Slides. This provides a historical record of what happens every day in class. 

Link to the Agenda in Your Email

Use the File menu and select “Share” and “Publish to the web.” This provides you with a link you can share that shows the agenda in full screen presentation mode. 

Tip: Add the link to your daily agenda slides in your signature line. 

 Add the link to your website and LMS one time. The link remains valid all school year, thus making it easy for students and guardians to find “What did I miss?”

Adds a Slide to the TOP

As silly as it sounds, Daily Agenda Slides adds a new slide to the TOP of your Google Slides. Inserting a slide always adds under and you have to drag to the top slot. You want your daily agenda to always be the FIRST slide.

More Fun Features

I keep adding more features so by the time you read this don’t be surprised if I have more option. Leave comments below with feature requests. Note that the approved scope is ONLY for “current presentation” so I can’t do anything that connects to outside services or apps. 

Insert Important

Adds an editable starburst textbox to announce to the students “Test on Friday” or whatever message you want to customize with. 

Random Slide Color

On the current slide, a random background color will be applied. You can use this with any slide, not just the daily agenda slide. 

Add Random Emoji

For fun, add an emoji near the top of the current slide. 

Add Random Quote

Use “Add Random Quote” or “Add Pirate Quote” to insert a textbox at the bottom with a random quote.
