That’s it! By the way, if you want to check out the template that we’ve used for this template, it’s this one. This means you can’t add third-party fonts to your presentation.

If you can’t find the font that you want, click More fonts. Go to the toolbar and click the Font drop-down arrow.Select the text box where you want to use a new font.Open your presentation in Google Slides.Script makes for an excellent heading, but then you would want a simpler font for the body text. The fonts must compliment each other! For example, choosing two script fonts would be overwhelming. You definitely cannot just choose your two favorite fonts and put them together - most often, they will not match. My favorite for this is Architects Daughter, by Google.Ĭhoosing fonts that match or work well together is referred to as font pairing. Here, I would apply a handwriting font which is still clearly legible and follows the handwriting format I teach (not mixing capital and lowercase letters and uniform in size). Extensis Fonts for Google Docs and Google Slides allows you to view your Google font. I use this when I want to include a caption of student/character voice or a mock up of student writing. In the GSuite Marketplace, find and install the Extensis Fonts Add-on. Don't write it all in the slide! Text overload!Ī third font that can occasionally be added for teaching would be voice text. Use the notes section of your app to help you remember what to say. Again, less is more and there is no need to put every word on your slide. When adding the content of your slides - the body text, it is best to use simple, easy to read fonts and to organize this information into blocks or bullets.

This is where you want your students (or colleagues/parents, etc) to look first. Our headings should be minimal in words, but powerful and bold in style.
