are you still creating slideshows the oldfashioned way let me show you a tool that can upgrade your presentations [Music] instantly hey everyone I'm Jamie and welcome to teachers Tech I've been exploring this new presentation platform called gamma recently I showed it to a few friends and colleagues and every single one of them was excited to jump in and try it for themselves so I figured why not make a video about it in this tutorial I'll show you how gamma transforms your slides from doll to Dynamic plus how you can easily export your projects into PowerPoint or Google Slides if you need more flexibility whether you're a teacher entrepreneur or professional gamma has something that will make your presentations truly stand out let's dive in I'll put the link down below to gamma so you can quickly access it just to let you know no one's paying me to do this video this is just a product that I got good feedback on from showing people so I want to show you I'm going to be demoing from the free account but I actually do have a paid for account as well so I'm going to go ahead and get signed in with my free account I'm all logged into gamma here into my free account I want to point out I have 360 credits left when I started this free account I had 400 each time I create a slideshow it was 40 if I want to get more I can quickly upgrade and you can check that out yourself now I'm focused on the presentation in this uh way of using gamma but over on the left I want to point out they have this beta one to create websites I'm going to do a different video on this one so I'll link it when I'm done that one but we also have ai images where you can create new images inside here but going back to gamma I'm going to focus on the AI to create the presentations but I want to point out you can create them from blank too and I'll show a little bit about that at the end of this video but let's go ahead and create and we have different ways that we can create our presentations you can paste from text you can generate it with a prompt and you can import file or URL so I'll just demo a few of these here I'm going to go click on generate here so what I want to know is in this case is going to be the future of AI in education so that's going to be my prompt it's going to generate an outline I want to point out with the free model I believe you can go up to 10 uh 10 cards and then you'd have to upgrade if you want to have it longer here so it's going to be a presentation that I'm generating I'm going to go ahead and just do the generate outline and it goes through creates this really really really quickly and then I can pick a theme so what's the theme that I would like to have let's pick this one right here and I can go through adjust the content on here you can see uh the image source is going to be AI images image style and I can pick the model I'm just going to go ahead and click generate it goes through and you're going to be impressed with the speed of this watch this is all live time as this is getting created here so this is going to be I believe about eight slides and already you can see the amount of time that this will uh show I'm just going to give it a happy face here actually I'm going to skip this so if I take a look at this presentation it has the AI images that it created ins look at these images here look at the style of the template as I go through each of these here so I'm going to click on the different cards of this one so how quickly that was created all this can be editable too just like if you started from scratch I can click into any of these and start editing if I didn't want this here I can delete write what I want contrl Z to put it back you'll see I have different options to change the card all of these things I can change now I can uh present from here too so I don't have to use this uh as a PowerPoint or Google slides to transform it over I can present from here and it becomes a slideshow so I could use my arrow keys to go through this way if I hit uh excape go back out of it I have a link here that I could share with people so if I wanted to share you can see I can give this link and share with people and I could present from from here without even having to uh to take it into any other format here so you get these different options now I can export this as a PDF and I can export this as a PowerPoint so that's what I want to point out here too so if I click on this export this as a PowerPoint I can open open it up in PowerPoint and edit and once it's in that PowerPoint I can bring it over to my Google Drive and have it transferred over into Google slides and I'll show you that so here's the PowerPoint I downloaded what I showed you and I just clicked on open it in PowerPoint and you can see how everything the formatting stays the same and I can still edit any of this just like a PowerPoint if I want it in Google Drive if I go back over here so it downloaded over here as a PowerPoint I should have titled something but not a big deal I'm going to go over to my Google Drive and I just have a folder open that's blank if I go ahead and take this and drop this into Google Drive remember PowerPoints you can convert over to Google Slides or you can play PowerPoints right from Google Slides too so I have this that's going to be less than a minute and I'll open it up so here it is in my Google Drive now I'm going to go and open it up you can see how everything the same is on it I can go through I could edit this point it's still PowerPoint if I look at the extension here but it works fine from Google Slides if you want to convert it you can go to file and notice we have save as Google Slides as soon as we do that it's going to change it to Google Slides so now if I go back into my drive I'm just going to refresh this you should see two one was the original PowerPoint file and one is Google Slides both will work I'm just back here in gamma I want to point out you can make quick changes to the theme if you want a different one just go ahead and click it and adjust the whole all the different cards at once and I also want to point out this over here so take a look at the different options you have export will get you do the same thing that I already showed you uh we do have a version history also and you can see the different features that you can do within gamma I'm going to go back to home right here so just clicking home we'll bring it back it will now be part of my different gamas that I have you'll notice if we want to send to trash we can do that we can duplicate and share from here or rename now I want to point out a couple different ways I'm not going to go through the same process again but if we go with create from AI again we can paste in our text so if we go ahead and paste in some text and if I had notes and let's do the AI in education all these different notes Here I could paste in I want to create a presentation still I can go continue and it will walk through the same part like I showed you before here's the information we hit continue we pick our theme and then we generate and then everything's the same from that so this presentation was created based on the notes that I gave it and it went through again looking at all the the uh images that it puts in a very clean presentation the other way with creating from AI you have the import file or URL you can upload a file could be a Word document PowerPoint import from Drive import import from URL so those will be the information information that your presentation is going to be created on so you could take maybe a presentation you already used in Google Slides or PowerPoint and it will give it an update fresh look to it if you want to start from scratch with GMA just go ahead and go new from blank and you'll see that you get the options that are pretty easy to understand how you work it so I can go ahead add title I will point out if you just use the forward slash you're going to get all the information that you can quickly add in so even if I was going to go and add some math in there you can see all the different options and these are going to be interactive as well so if I was looking for let's say a pie chart notice as soon as I do this here how it gets placed in and I'll just leave this as the example and hit to x out so I have it and this will be interactive in the presentation so you might just want to use gamma as the presentation and foro even moving it over to PowerPoint or Google Slides so what do you think is this something you could see yourself using take advantage of the 400 credits you get for free test it out to see if this is something you could use thanks for watching this week on teachers Tech I'll see you next time with more Tech tips and tutorials
