Slide Types

​
Title Slides

Opening slides with large text for your presentation title, section dividers, and key statements. Example prompt: “Add a title slide for ‘Introduction to Machine Learning‘“

​
Content Slides

Standard slides with headings and bullet points: 
Slide Title

• First point
• Second point
  - Sub-point
• Third point
Example prompt: “Add 5 slides covering the main causes of climate change”

​
Two-Column Layouts

Compare and contrast, or show image alongside text: 
Left Column          | Right Column
---------------------|--------------------
Before               | After
Advantages           | Disadvantages
Text explanation     | Image/Diagram
Example prompt: “Use a two-column layout comparing renewable and non-renewable energy”

​
Image Slides

Full-screen or large images for visual impact: Example prompt: “Add a slide with the cell diagram filling most of the space”

​
Code Slides

Syntax-highlighted code examples: 
def greet(name):
    return f"Hello, {name}!"
Example prompt: “Add a slide showing the Python function with syntax highlighting”

​
Math Slides

Beautiful mathematical notation: Example prompt: “Add a slide showing the derivation of the area of a circle”

​
Speaker Notes

Notes appear below each slide in edit mode and in presenter view during presentation: Example prompts:
  • “Add speaker notes for all slides”
  • “Include key points to emphasize in the notes”
  • “Add timing suggestions (aim for 3 minutes on this slide)“

​
Animations and Builds

​
Bullet Builds

Make points appear one at a time: Example prompt: “Make the bullet points appear one at a time”

​
Step-by-Step Reveals

Show process or solution gradually: Example prompt: “Reveal each step of the solution one at a time”

​
Transitions

Smooth movements between slides: Example prompt: “Add a fade transition between slides”
Keep animations subtle for educational content. Too much movement can distract from learning.

Best Practices

Less Text

Slides support your talk—they shouldn’t replace it

One Idea per Slide

Don’t crowd multiple concepts onto one slide

Large Fonts

Text should be readable from the back of the room

Visual Balance

Leave white space; don’t fill every corner

​
Example Prompts

​
Expanding Content

Expand this presentation to [X] slides covering more detail.
Add more slides for a 45-minute lecture on [subject].

​
Structure

Divide into sections: Introduction, [Topic 1], [Topic 2], Summary.
Add a Q&A slide at the end.

​
Content

Make this slide image-only.

​
Interactivity

Add discussion questions for students.
