Slide generation in Flint

Navigate to the Flint home screen and start a new chat or activity with Sparky by clicking on "My chats" or "My activities".

Use clear language like:

• "Create a presentation on..."
• "Generate slides about..."
• "Make a slide deck that explains..."

Click on the plus icon, paper clip icon, or camera icon to attach files, documents, or share links to give Sparky additional context for the presentation content.

It may take a minute for Sparky to generate the slides. Do not exit out of your window while Sparky is generating!

Click the "Theme picker" in the slide viewer's navigation bar.

You can choose from 6 different color themes. Theme changes are applied instantly and will be reflected when you download.

The six color themes available:

• Professional: Navy blue with gold accents on white background
• Warm: Orange with terracotta accents on cream background
• Cool: Blue with sky blue accents on ice white background
• Bold: Red with amber accents on dark background
• Nature: Green with mint accents on soft green background
• Flint: Flint orange on white background

Click the "Present" button to enter fullscreen presentation mode.

Navigate between slides using:

• Arrow keys (left/right)
• Spacebar
• Clicking anywhere on the slide

Press "Escape" to exit fullscreen.

Click the "Download" button to download your slides as a PowerPoint (PPTX) file.

The downloaded file will use whatever theme you currently have selected.

You can ask Sparky to make changes to your slides by simply typing your request.

For example:

• "Add another slide about the water cycle"
• "Make the introduction slide more detailed"
• "Include more examples on slide 3"

Be specific about your audience, including:

• Grade level
• Background knowledge
• Learning objectives

You can also provide context by:

• Pasting notes or curriculum text
• Attaching documents like a syllabus or lesson plan
• Including links to readings or resources

Use language like "create a presentation," "generate slides," or "make a slide deck" so Sparky knows the format you want.

You can request specific layouts:

• Title slides
• Content slides with images
• Content only slides
• Section headers
• Summary/closing slides

You can request slides along with other materials in a single message:

• "Create a presentation on photosynthesis and a worksheet that goes into more detail on each step"
• "Generate a slide deck introducing the topic and a quiz for students to complete afterward"
