PowerPoint, Notes and Exam Format Information

This resource includes PPTX and DOCX files that work with Microsoft PowerPoint and Word AND Google App files adapted to work with Google Slides and Docs. Digital, self-grading summative assessments made with Google Forms are included. Fonts are safe for use with Microsoft Office and Google Apps.

*********************************************************************************************************

GOOGLE DRIVE – GOOGLE CLASSROOM FILES

This resource includes Google App compatible files:

• Presentations saved as Google Slides

• Scaffolded and Modified Notes saved as Google Docs

• Summative Exams saved as a Self-Grading Google Forms

Important Notes about Google App Files

• The Google App files are 100% editable

• The download includes directions to access and make copies of the Google App files

• Due to file size limits, the presentations and notes are separated into multiple files

• Slides and notes are organized into lessons according to the planning and pacing

• Self-Grading Google Form exams are undifferentiated. Edit questions at your discretion

• Diagrams in the notes are saved as drawings in docs so to be manipulated by students

Why is it necessary to have these files available if Google Apps open Microsoft Office files?

The Microsoft Office files in this download have been converted so to preserve the aesthetics, images and videos (when applicable). When uploading to Google Drive, text boxes may be resized or shifted, images may be deleted or corrupted and embedded videos do not play. I have corrected these errors so the quality of the presentation and notes are preserved. Also, file size limits may prevent you from uploading an entire presentation to your Google Drive. I broke apart the presentation and notes into manageable “chunks” that can be used for individual lessons.

To upload the files from this download to your Google Drive, you should use the Google Drive for Desktop App. You CANNOT directly upload the folders of lessons to your Google Drive within a web browser. You can manually copy and sync the files but this requires more user effort. Video directions are included and can be viewed in a web browser: https://bit.ly/3SK6RNm
