Word to PPT 文字轉簡報

21/02/2022 / Technology Integration / Leave a Comment

如果想要把文件檔轉為簡報，有什麼方法呢？介紹一款Chrome外掛程式。這是一名數學老師自己寫的外掛程式。有興趣的老師可以直接看原文和Alice Keeler 的Youtube影片，聽她說明如何使用這款外掛，Magically Convert Google Docs to Slides。 我用中文簡單說明如何使用這款外掛程式。 安裝外掛 首先到Google Workspace Marketplace 安裝 Doc to Slides by Schoolytics 應用程式。瀏覽器要用Chrome才能使用。 Google doc 如果檔案是Word，要先轉為Google doc。直接把你的Word檔案上傳到Google Drive，就可以輕鬆把Word轉成Google doc了。接著打開你的Google doc文件。 打開外掛應用程式 如圖指示。一段就是一個簡報頁。我貼了一段新聞作為示範。 打開側邊菜單選項之後，會看到如下的畫面。 如果你已經有一個Google Slide的簡報檔，直接把檔案地址貼上去。沒有的話，跳到第2個步驟。 按下Create Google Slides，這個程式就會自動幫你產生一個Google Slide 的檔案，然後文書上的每個段落就會成為簡報頁，有幾段，就會產生有幾頁簡報。 另外補充說明。如果你希望給學生每個人一個簡報頁，可以在Google doc上貼上學生的名單，如果有23個學生，一個學生一行，就會產生23張簡報頁，左下角會有學生的名字。什麼時候會用到這樣的功能呢？比如你讓學生做個心智圖，可是又不想打開23份檔案時，他們就可以把心智圖，貼在有他們名字的簡報上。 你可以把學生的名字放在Speaker Notes裡， 所以不佔簡報的空間。 溫馨小提醒 簡報的功能是要讓受眾在最短的時間的得取最重要的資訊。如果簡報文字太多，會造成受眾的負擔。盡量文圖搭配，文字也不要太多。如果想要提供豐富的信息，那就直接給文書檔就好了。 資源 Doc to Slides by Schoolytics by Alice Keeler
