Creating a slide deck template
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can create a slide deck template to meet the needs of an audience.
Key learning points
- Slide decks can be used for projects and presentations to share information.
- Slide deck templates can be created to provide consistency in design and structure.
- Design choices should reflect the needs of the audience and the purpose of the product.
- Slide templates can be saved and reused.
Keywords
Template - a predesigned layout or guide
Consistent - always happening in a similar way
Design - to plan or create something
Common misconception
The format and layout of slide decks must always be created from scratch each time you start a new document.
Slide deck templates have pre-designed layouts and formatting that can be used as a starting point when creating new slide decks.
Teacher tip
Consider changing the charity themes used in the activities to businesses or clubs to suit the interests of learners better.
Equipment
Pupils will need access to a device that is connected to the internet and has software that allows them to create presentations.
