Google Slides is a versatile platform that can be used for more than just presentations. You can also use it to create engaging and interactive books. This guide will walk you through the process of making your own book using Google Slides.
Getting Started
The first thing you need is access to Google Slides, which comes free with any Google account. If you do not already have a Google account, you can easily create one here.
Creating a new slide
Once you’re signed in, you can create a new presentation by clicking on the “+” icon. Alternatively, you can go to the File tab and choose New > Presentation.
Choosing a layout
Google Slides offers several pre-designed layouts that you can choose from to make your book. However, if you want to start from scratch, you can simply choose the Blank layout. You can always alter the layout later if you change your mind.
Designing your first page
Your first page can act as the cover of your book. Click on the Insert tab and choose Text box to add a title. You can adjust the font size, color, and style to your liking.
Adding more pages
To add more pages to your book, simply click on the + (plus) icon located at the top left corner. This will create a new slide that you can design as you want.
Adding text
Creating the content for your book is as easy as clicking the Text box tool and typing away. You can also copy and paste text from another document into the box.
Adding images
Adding images can help make your book more engaging. To add an image, go to the Insert tab and select Image. You can upload an image from your computer, or you can search the web right within Google Slides.
Arranging your elements
You can easily move text boxes and images around by clicking and dragging them. You can also adjust their size by dragging the corners.
Adding transitions
Transitions can make your book more dynamic. To add a transition, click on the Slide tab and select Change transition. You will see a variety of transition options to choose from.
Saving and sharing your book
Google Slides automatically saves your work as you go. When you’re finished, you can share your book by clicking on the Share button in the top-right corner.
Printing your book
If you want to print your book, go to the File tab and select Print. You can choose the number of copies you want, as well as the printing options.
