Hey teachers. Today I'm going to show
you how to use Microsoft Designer to create
an amazing worksheet for your students
all about SMART goals. Let's get started.
The first step is opening
Microsoft Designer on your device.
This is a fantastic tool for creating visually
appealing and customized materials and it's free.
Now, we're going to choose a template with generative AI.
As you can see, there are a lot of options,
but for the purposes of this tutorial,
we're going to use Design creator.
Next step is to put in your prompt.
In this case, I'm putting in "create
a worksheet for students about how to create SMART goals."
Then tap "Generate".
Here are just a few of the templates that were
generated for me and now I'm going to pick one to edit.
How about that one. Next step after you've
picked the template you want, tap "Customize design".
Now we'll double tap inside the textbox to
change the text and customize it to whatever you want.
Since this was generated
for me in a way that I already like,
the only thing I'm going to do to change
this is tap right here
on this text icon and
then change it to one of these different fonts.
I picked this one and we can also customize the images.
Now that I've picked this one, this tool is going to go
ahead and suggest for me some changes
that I might like better and in this case,
I do like this one better
so I'm going to change to this.
This is the power of using an AI tool instead of
just any old standard design software is
it kind of helps you be more
creative and push you a little bit further.
Now it's time to incorporate
that SMART goal worksheet element.
The first thing I did was I duplicated
this page by tapping those three dots,
and then tapping "Duplicate".
Then on the second page, I'm
actually going to add my own media here.
This image is just from
a Google search about SMART goals,
but it fits the prompt perfectly,
so I'm going to place this right here.
Don't forget that you can change up
the colors right here at any point just by
tapping right there and it
will give you the other colors that
are in the design if you want to change it up visually.
So, now we need to add the interactive
element of this worksheet
and this is actually just
as easy as everything else you've seen.
What we're going to do is duplicate
this page just like we did the first page.
This time we're going to tap on
"Visuals" and then "Graphics."
Scroll down to this little rectangle right here.
Then you're going to resize it so that it fits
right over all of the words that came before.
We're also going to change the color
so that it matches the design,
and five times later we have this.
The last step is to add these little boxes that
show students where they should actually write.
To do what I just did right here,
you're just going to come over here and tap on text.
Then you're going to add, "add body text."
Then the prompt will show up on your page like this
and then you can move it over to be on top right there,
so that students can actually type their goal
into the template. And you're done!
Now it's time to share your design.
To do that, you're going to tap right
up here on the "Download" icon.
From here, you can download each page as
a PNG or you can download it as a PDF,
which is most likely what I would do.
