AI lesson presentation maker
Plan the lesson in one sentence, let your assistant draft the slides, and teach from Presenter Cue with your notes on your phone.
Step by step: start from a template
- Open the templates. Choose New, then Templates: pitch deck, lesson, status update, product launch, workshop and school project. Each is a real deck with speaker notes.
- Pick one. The template opens as a new deck, saved in your browser. Your other presentations stay untouched in My decks.
- Or let your AI write your version. Every template page has a prompt that keeps the template’s structure. Paste it into your assistant with your topic and you get the same shape with your content.
A lesson structure that works
Good lesson slides follow the lesson, not the textbook: what we’ll learn, the key ideas one at a time, an example, a quick check, a recap. Pick Lesson or lecture in the studio, name the class and topic, and the prompt asks for that shape.
- Describe the lesson “Photosynthesis for Year 8, 45 minutes, simple words.”
- Ask your assistant and paste its answer.
- Check every fact. Assistants make mistakes. Read each slide before class.
- Teach. Present full screen; with Pro, your phone shows your notes and moves the slides.
In the classroom
Presenter Cue runs in the browser, so it works on a school laptop or Chromebook with nothing to install. Press B to black the screen when you want eyes on you, and W for a white screen to write on a whiteboard behind it.
From learning objective to slides
Start with what students should be able to do by the end, then let the slides serve that. In the studio, put the objectives into the topic (“Year 8 students can explain the four stages of the water cycle and why it matters for weather”), choose Lesson or lecture, set the audience to the year group and pick the Simple and clear tone. The assistant builds a lesson around the objectives rather than a lecture about the topic.
Slides that teach, not tell
- One idea per slide, with the explanation in your speaker notes rather than on screen.
- A process or timeline layout for anything with stages or dates.
- A picture on every concept slide. Add your own diagrams, and fill in the description so the slide works for students using screen readers.
- A check for understanding before the recap: three questions answered on paper or mini whiteboards.
Differentiating
Duplicate the deck from My decks and ask the assistant for a version “for students who need more support: shorter sentences, one more worked example” or “an extension version with a challenge question on each slide”. Paste each into its own deck. The lesson slides prompt has wording for both.
Accuracy and copyright
Check every fact the assistant writes against your curriculum and textbook; AI tools make confident mistakes, especially with dates, numbers and quotes. Use images you are allowed to use: your own photos and diagrams, your school’s licensed resources, or openly licensed images with their credit in the notes.
Teaching with it
The studio runs on school laptops and Chromebooks with nothing to install. Press B for a black screen when you want students’ attention, and with Pro use your phone as the remote so you can move around the room while you teach.
Questions
Can students use it too?
Yes. It’s free and needs no account, so students can make project slides on any school device.
Is it suitable for young children?
Choose the “Simple and clear” tone and say the age in the audience box. Always check content before showing it to a class.
Can students see the speaker notes?
Only if you show them. Presenting full screen shows just the slides; notes appear in presenter view and on your phone remote.
Does it work on Chromebooks?
Yes. Presenter Cue runs in Chrome on Chromebooks with nothing to install, and works offline after the first visit.
Can I share a lesson with another teacher?
Download the JSON backup and send it. They open it from Open a .json file in the studio and get the full, editable lesson.
Can I print the slides as a handout?
Download a PDF (Pro) and print it, or download the speaker notes as a text file for a teacher’s copy.
