No One Watches Your Slides. Here's What to Do Instead.

Let me guess: You’ve got great lesson slides. Colorful. Fact-filled. Aligned to the textbook.

But when you show them in class? Your students are zoned out. Phones under the desk. Blank stares.

Here’s what no one tells you: Slides don’t teach. Stories do.

Why Slides Don’t Work Anymore

The format is outdated.

Slides were built for boardrooms, not classrooms. They present information, but they don’t engage.

Students today live in a world of motion, audio, and interaction. A static image with a bullet list just can’t compete with the stimulation of reels, videos, and memes.

If we want to compete for their attention, we need to speak in their language: visuals, voice, story.

The Truth No One Tells You

You work hard to make your lessons informative. You use PowerPoint, Google Slides, or whatever tool the school provides. You try to align with the curriculum. You follow the book. You present clearly.

But something’s still missing.

In a digital-first world, attention is currency. And your competition isn’t just other teachers—it’s YouTube, Instagram, Minecraft, and reels. These platforms use sound, story, and visuals to hook young minds. Static slides just can’t compete.

So what can you do?

Meet Google Vids

A tool so simple, even non-techie teachers are becoming video creators overnight.

Here’s the magic:

1. Take your existing slides
2. Add your voice, just like you teach in class
3. Toss in some arrows or pictures
4. Click Share

Boom. A short, sharp video lesson your students will watch.

No complex editing software. No fancy animations.

Just you. Teaching.

As you always have,  only now, with superpowers.

What Makes Google Vids Different from Other Tools

You may have heard of apps like Canva, Powtoon, Loom, or YouTube Shorts. They’re great—but they’re not designed with classroom teaching in mind.

Google Vids is different:

• Built for educators using Google Workspace
• Templates designed for lessons, not marketing
• Lightweight and simple—no installs, no fancy specs
• Integrates with Google Classroom
• Records in any language you speak
• It’s not a media tool. It’s a teacher’s tool.

"But I’m Not a Video Editor."

Exactly. You’re a teacher. You know your content. You know how to explain it in ways your students understand.

Google Vids lets you focus on that, not timelines, transitions, or tech jargon.

If you can click and talk, you can teach on video.

No fancy mic. No green screen. Just your laptop or phone, and your voice.

Why Teachers in India Love It

This Isn’t Just for Big Cities

Whether you’re teaching in Delhi or Dindigul, Kolhapur or Kozhikode—Google Vids works where you do.

You don’t need a media lab. You don’t need a videographer. You just need:

1. A school Gmail account (Google Workspace for Education)
2. A topic you’re already teaching
3. 15 minutes to try it out

5 Simple Steps to Try It Today

1. Open Google Vids – Use your school Gmail (Workspace for Education)
2. Pick a template – "Lesson Explainer" is a good place to start
3. Import your slides – PowerPoint or Google Slides, both work
4. Add your voice – Talk like you're in class
5. Click Share – Send it on WhatsApp, email, or Classroom

Want to get fancy?

Add callouts, arrows, or highlight text.

But honestly, your voice is enough.

Real Teachers. Real Wins.

Mrs. Nair (Kerala): “I explained the water cycle in Malayalam. My students AND their parents loved it.”

Mr. Khan (Rajasthan): “I recorded algebra lessons. Absent kids never fell behind.”

Ms. Preeti (Madurai): “I use Google Vids for exam revision. My students now ask for the videos after class!”

Mr. Joseph (Bengaluru): “I made an English storytelling video for my 4th graders—they laughed, listened, and remembered every word.”

Where It Fits in Your School

In the classroom:

• Daily recaps
• Language storytelling
• Science experiments (demo + explain)
• Difficult topics students struggle with
• Chapter summaries before tests

For students:

• Group video projects
• Topic explainers
• Digital news boards
• Flip teaching or homework reviews
• Peer-to-peer explanations

For school leaders:

• Announcements
• Teacher training (create training modules)
• Parent communication (school achievements, circulars)
• Sharing event highlights or celebrations

You’re not alone. We’ve trained over 1000+ teachers who felt the same way.

Most thought:

"This will take too much time."

"I’m not good with tech."

"My students won’t watch."

But guess what? They did it.

And now they send their video links on WhatsApp with pride.

Because it works.
