Make your PDFs and Worksheets Editable Online - Using Google Slides 

Thanks for detailed steps to follow. It makes the directions easy to apply. Here's another tip: when starting, use plus sign to open a new presentation slide and use dropdown arrow to get to blank cell. Change page set up to 8.5 x 11. NOW SAVE THIS NEW TEMPLATE of blank cell and page size with a new name like NEW PRESENTATION TEMPLATE. Make a few copies of the blank slides. Make a copy of this presentation and RENAME IT WITH A NEW NAME like English 12A or whatever. Continue to create your slide presentation. The most important step in this process is to rename the slide TEMPLATE as soon as you open it. You will always have a new, blank slide ready with page set up for 8.5 x 11. It is a little shortcut.

Teacher's Tech is just what I needed to learn how to fully use Google Classroom. The instructor is clear, calm, and backs up the instruction with visuals. The pace is perfect for beginners. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!

I had no idea you could change the size of a slide. This was worth watching for that tip alone. Thanks so much.

💡TIP: You can also use Ctrl + D to Duplicate. Then you just drag the duplicated text box to the next blank space. Great video. Can't wait to share with the teachers in my district. 😊

I am the WORST tech person on earth - and you are the guy I needed. Thanks for being the best!! You helped a fool become successful - at this one task 🙏🏼

This gentleman explains everything soooooooooo clearly

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I just edited 7 pages of pdf's using the snip tool. And the hack on dropping the page into the background makes my sheets look just like the Live Worksheets. Keep posting.

Thank you for producing a quick, clear, concise video that makes perfect sense because you say and show as you go. Your pace is perfect for making notes and moving right on. I like that you do mention other videos available, but do not go on "advertise" them in that long, irritating way that many others do, and you don't even pretend to be funny or cute in delivery. Thanks!!!

You can also add a border to the text boxes, or fill then with a light color, and add to the directions to "put your answer in the green boxes"; that way students don't have to delete the "type here" text. Great video tute!!!

I'm only 2 and a half minutes in and this information has alREADY opened up so many more possibilities!! Thank you, Sir.!

💡TIP: If the "Click here" not pasting exactly where you want drives you a bit nutty as it does me ;) , click on the text box, then select Format (top toolbar), Align & Indent, and then select Middle. This way, whatever has been typed into the text box will show up in the middle of the box (from top to bottom). If you select "Center" the text will be will center-justified (from left to right). Excellent video - I'm subscribing to learn more!

Gosh, thanks so much for this - I love that this is straightforward, no bedazzled distractions etc. So incredibly helpful for a teacher who did not grow up in the tech generation and desperately trying to keep up and help her students. A thousand thanks. I'm going to watch your others as well.

OMG! I've watched about five of your videos one after another. You are so clear and succinct!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

I ran into this exact situation last week with a pdf that my students couldn’t edit. Thank you for providing this solution!

Oh my heavens! I have been searching for months on a way to have students label maps! You're my hero!!! Thank you!

This is most useful. I used to show teachers how to do this for their SMART Boards and never thought of doing this. You just saved me a ton of searching and it is much appreciated as Google doesn't think to include these best practices! Thanks Again!

Thanks for sharing this -- I'm sharing with teachers in my school. A tip for you: You can change the Layout of the slide to Blank instead of deleting text boxes. Paying it forward!

Nice idea. Two suggestions: Instead of writing Click Here and forcing the kids to delete it, when you make the text box, just choose Border Color and instead of Transparent, give it a thin visible border. Also, Google "pdf to jpeg" - there are plenty of excellent, free online services that will easily convert a pdf to a png or jpeg quickly.

Finally! A video that actually worked for me. Great explanation of each step. You are definitely a teacher. Thank you.

Awesome. I had to watch this one twice, because there is a lot of great information. I picked up more tips by watching it a second time.

I LOVE your videos! They are so helpful! I'm a college professor that has recently transitioned my team to Google Classroom and all things Google. I've shared a couple videos with my staff to help them along the way. Your explanations were very simple to follow and understand. Two thumbs up!!

This just made my life so much easier. I had no idea about Google Classroom or Google Slides. During this time of being locked inside this makes teaching so much easier. THANK YOU!

Thanks so much for this tutorial. Your instructions are very easy to understand and I was able to be successful on my first try. My students are running out of printer ink, so this is a lifesaver!

Easy to listen to, easy to understand, easy to apply. You are a teacher extraordinaire! Thank you very much.

I spent 2 hours yesterday trying to figure this out. Thanks for your direct, easy to follow instructions!!

Thank you very much for such a nice way of teaching teachers. I am a teacher who were finding it hard to use technology for future teaching. This is the first video I have watched and I believe your videos can help me to transition into blended teaching/learning era. I like your calm style of teaching. Thanks again.

Thanks so much for this! It's a brilliant hack. I've been creating worksheets in Forms, so this is going to save me so much time.

Student teaching this semester and this helped me so much!!!

Thank you so much! This distance learning has been really stressful and this video was very helpful. The instructions were concise and easy to follow.

Excellent! Everytime a question popped in my mind, you literally answered it in your next sentence. Thank you for being a pro! Very helpful as I prepare for remote learning.

This is awesome. Thanks for this workshop. I am going to use this for next week's lesson.

Thank you, I figured out everything but setting it as a background. I knew there was a way to anchor it. You just made my time in virtual a lot easier.

This was a lifesaver for me to be able to use lessons I already have and make them digital during the school shutdown!! Thank you I learned so much!

Excellent tutorial. was just what I needed. thank you so much!

Thank you Jamie this tutorial was so easy to follow. You made it so easy to follow. I am excited now to create my lessons in Google Classroom. Will watch more tutorials of yours.

Thank you so much for this. Your pacing and instructions were clear and precise. WoW! Never thought of making the document a background image. ... Simplicity is Key. Students will love this. Thanks.

this is absolutely brilliant!! It was just trying to find a way for students to do the worksheets on the screen and saw your video.Awesome.

Just found you....WOW! You are going to save me huge amounts of time! Thank you so much!!!!

This is Awesome and very essential for me to use for my diverse learners! This video was very helpful in showing me the different ways and steps in using the worksheets as Google Slides to enable the students to write on the sheets! I love your videos!

This video is wonderful !!!! Thank you so very much. I teach 2nd grade and most of my students don't have the knowledge to know how to get in and edit their papers. You've made my day.

This was AWESOME!!! Thank you sooooooo much!! Brief, simple, and to the point!!

This is absolute genius! I had no idea that we could change the setup of a slide page! This saves me a toooon of time and effort in trying these other confusing platforms!

Thank you! I just made my first PDF into a fill-in worksheet. WHOA!

Wow! Straight to the point!

This is very clear video. I didn't know you could change the size of the slide - now I do Thank you

Thanks a Million. You spoke slow enough for me to actually follow. I have been trying to find this especially for our virtual learning this year.

absolutely stupendous! Bravo... it is so awesome, it makes me wanna spend the time doing this so that I don't need to do .DOC quizzes and printing and all that stuff for the 125 ESL students I have. Thanks so much

Finally, a user friendly video presentation. THANK YOU!

God Bless You! Dinosaur teachers need folks like you to hold our hands!

Just a quick 'Thank You' for all your videos.

Excellent! EXACTLY what I needed!! Thanks!

Wow, that was so easy, thank you for teaching this old dog a new trick.

Thank you. Thanks to your video I have been making worksheets the kids can fill in. Thank you also for showing how to send it to them in Google classroom.

Thank you! I watched a few others and got nowhere. Yours was perfect!

This video was extremely helpful. Thank you so much for making it easy to follow and understand.

You so easy to follow along with and to understand. You've become my HERO.

I was doing this and having problems. This video cleared up my issues and now I'm doing it better!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Excellent. A solution to how students can fill in answers in a PDF file.

genius!! I can't believe it! what a simple solution. I feel like such a .... you just saved me hours of work!

Great video thank you! I did not know about the Snipping tool. I would usually screenshot the page. For my younger children I shade the text box or colour the lines so they can see.

Mind blown. I'm definitely using this! Thank you.

You have just saved my life!!! Thank you for a great explanation!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share that with us teachers. Much appreciated!!

This was super helpful and easy to do! Thank you so much for posting this video 😁😁😁

Thank you so so much! I am a first-year teacher and was stressing.

I just screen snip the original page, hit COPY, then go to my document (I use PowerPoint), hit change background to paste the screen snip straight in. No need to save it or anything. Boom! PowerPoint is so much easier to use for creation of resources. I then upload to my Google Drive (where it becomes a slide of course) to share with students. Then I let the add their own text boxes (I like your idea of the 'click here' box though, especially if teaching younger students.

Thanks for the video for the screen 💻 recorded I have downloaded few of them and never was satisfied but your method works 100 percent and big thanks to you.

WOW. Thank you so much! I cannot believe it that simple.

Thank you for this video. With these times (pandemic) distance learning is a must and us teachers are learning as we go. Videos like this is what we need.

Thanks for a very clear step by step explanation!

This is the first video I found that discussed this trick and your explanation was clear and engaging. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. This will help out as now we are teaching digitally. I have many ideas to use this with.

Finally found the correct solution to most questions as to how to fill-in a PDF file! Wow! Awesome help, Sir! I will; share this to my co teachers as well. Great tip! Salute to you, as we are all migrating to Google G Suite for Education from MS.... :-)

Great video - I find it easier if I put in a text box that is lightly shaded/filled in (light grey is good). Then I don't have to type anything for the students in the box. They know an answer is needed in every shaded grey text box.

Excellent video. I have learned and solved my problems before thanks to your video. Thank you very much for your training.

Can I "like" this 20 times? I really appreciate your clear and concise directions. New subscriber! Blessings to you 😁

This is so helpful! Thank you!

THANK YOU!! WOW...you have helped me so much! And my students!

Thanks a million.....Instructions were clear and on point.

Thanks for going nice and slow so I can follow along. I read the other comments and 100% agree with everything said. Many thanks.

Thank you so much! this is very helpful and clear! I'm so excited

You are an amazing instructor! Thank you!

I'm going to share this video with my child's teacher. We had such a time last night. I had to go through her 7 pages of math and add text boxes so my child could answer the questions. Otherwise she suggested that they re write it with pencil and paper and take pictures with their phones and submit it that way or create their own slides...I thought what's the point of using Google classroom if we're just going to revert back to the old way of doing work. It was clear that the teacher didn't know what she was doing. My child says that the teacher always copies and pastes probably from other teachers. This quarantine, shut in, lock down or social distancing...whatever you want to call it has us all taking on new roles and learning new things. Thank you for sharing.

Great tutorial. Very useful skill. Shared this with teachers I work with. Thanks

Awesome. Explosive. Well done. Just what I needed

Excellent information. I am just learning how to use google classroom and google drive thank you for the clear explanations.

Loved the tutoria! Simple and easy to understand. I am teaching from home during this Covid19 pandemic and have to get a crash course on Google Slides. Thanks

Thank you! The background trick...genius.

Well explained and so easy to follow. Thanks a bunch.

Thank you for sharing. I learned a lot from this video. Thank you again.

This was great! Downloaded as PowerPoint for Connect and worked great.

Thanks, This will save a lot of time and frustration. Thanks again

Excellent and well timed! I appreciate this so much!

This is exactly what I needed and will be so helpful. Thank You!!

This was exactly what I was looking to do! Thank you so much for making this video!

This was so helpful for so many things! Thank you!

Wow, what a helpful video! This is a game-changer!

Wow! Thank you for taking your time when showing us how to transform a PDF into an Editable version. I think I understand how to do this.

You just saved my life! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!

What a helpful and thorough video. I am sure you have helped many Teachers better transition to virtual learning.
