Steps to Create a Choice Board in Google Slides for Seesaw
1. Open Google Slides
2. Insert the shapes that you would like to use as clickable links
3. Go to a kid friendly website and search your topic
4. When you find a website you would like to use, copy the URL at the top.
5. You can also right click on a graphic from the slide (example: History channel icon) and save the image to your download folder
6. Go back to Google Slides. Go to Insert, Select image and click on the icon you just saved. Resize it to fit in your shape.
7. Click on the icon so it is selected, Go to the Insert menu and select Link.
8. Paste your link into the rectangular link box.
9. Click on the shape behind your icon. Go to the Insert menu and select Link.
10.Paste your link into the link box again. This way, no matter where the child clicks, the link will open.
Repeat this for the other options you would like students to have. If you are searching
for a video, you can just go to the Insert menu, click video and search right from there!
