How to Use Gamma AI to Create Beautiful Presentations and Classroom Materials
#249: If you're spending hours building presentations, lesson materials, and classroom documents from scratch — there's a better way. In this episode, I'm walking you through Gamma, an AI-powered tool that creates beautiful, professional-looking presentations, handouts, and pages in minutes, not hours.
Whether you want to generate a lesson slideshow from a single prompt, or paste in your existing Google Doc and let Gamma design it for you, this tool is one of the most practical AI tools for teachers I've come across. I cover everything: Gamma's free vs. paid plan, how to write prompts that get great results, choosing slide settings, theming and editing, adding presenter notes, and all the ways you can share your finished slides with students and parents.
