Make a slide for each student

Let’s say you want to make a group slide presentation.  There will be one slide for each student.  You could create one slide- and then let the students copy.  Or you could use this Google Sheet Add-On from Alice Keeler.  You create a spreadsheet, use the add-on, add your roster and it will generate a slide for every student (and their name is already on it)!  Please click here for her post and the directions.
