Before I discuss artificial intelligence (AI) slide generators you should know, slideshows are my Achilles heel as an educator. I hate putting slideshows together and when I do, the process tends to eat up entire weekends and result in ugly slides laden with so many details they overwhelm students or workshop participants. It got to the point that at some point during the pandemic, that I vowed to stop using slideshows altogether and added “recovering PowerPoint user" to my LinkedIn bio.
In the place of slideshows, I provide students or participants with a QR code that leads to a handout on the topic I’m teaching. This has worked much better than slideshows, but even so, I couldn’t resist the call of the dark side when I heard about AI slide generators.
