Monsha’s AI-powered Slide Generator lets you quickly create engaging, customised, and standards-aligned slides from various teaching materials like web links, videos, files, and lesson objectives.

You don’t need to draft prompts or worry about formatting because Monsha manages the content and design for you.

The slides are pre-styled with multiple attractive themes available, and you can easily include supporting images.

Step 1: Access Presentation Slides

From the tools collection within your Monsha account, find and select Presentation Slides. If you're not already logged in, you’ll be prompted to sign up or log in using your email.

Step 2: Add Your Requirements and Sources

Now it’s time to set up your presentation.

1. Enter your prompt, topic, or instructions. Monsha keeps it simple and context-driven. You’ll also see some quick questions to fine-tune what you want to create.

2. You can add as many sources as you need:

  • Topics or themes: Directly type your subject (e.g., "Ancient Egypt" or "Solar System").

  • Existing Monsha resources: Reuse previous resources like worksheets, tests, or lesson plans.

  • Internet URLs: Insert links from websites, articles, or textbooks.

  • YouTube videos: Paste the video URL, and Monsha analyses the entire transcript for detailed content.

  • Uploaded files: Add documents, PowerPoints, spreadsheets, or image files.

  • Text excerpts: Paste text directly into Monsha.

  • Lesson objectives: Automatically align slides to generated lesson objectives.

You’re free to combine multiple sources for richer, more relevant content.

3. Specify how many slides you'd like. And choose Yes if you'd like images and visual aids included in your slides.

4. Choose your grade level and language (over 60 supported!).

Step 4: Align and Fine-Tune Your Resource (Optional)

You have several options to make your resource fit perfectly into your teaching plan:

  • Attach to lesson: Organize your presentation under a specific course, unit, or lesson for seamless curriculum alignment.

  • Assign curriculum standards: Choose from built-in standards (Common Core, NGSS, IB, and more), or enter your own custom standards.

  • Adapt to educational frameworks: Make your presentation based on any Bloom’s Taxonomy, Lexile reading levels, or Depth of Knowledge (DOK) levels.

This step is optional, you can always skip it and add alignment later if you prefer.

Click Generate. Monsha will quickly create your slides, styled according to your selected theme and content preferences.

What can you do after generating your presentation?

1. Chat with your content

Keep the conversation going. Ask Monsha to revise slides, generate follow-up sections, adapt your presentation for different groups, or brainstorm new ideas for visuals or examples—all in a continuous thread, just like ChatGPT.

Use the Quick Actions menu to get prompt suggestions specifically tailored to your presentation.

Each output in any Monsha resource comes with a set of icons that let you take powerful next steps—refine, extend, or repurpose your slides with a click.

2. Edit and enhance

Customize your presentation directly to your liking. Monsha’s editor supports rich content—you can add multimedia elements like images, tables, equations, code snippets, or even embedded videos, depending on what your presentation needs.

3. Change themes in real-time

Experiment with different visual themes and immediately preview your slides as a slideshow. Find the look and feel that fits your style and audience—no need to start over.

4. Differentiate teaching resources

Monsha makes it easy to create multiple versions of your presentation to meet the needs of diverse learners:

  • Translate your slides into any of the 60+ supported languages.

  • Adapt by changing grade level, Depth of Knowledge (DOK), Bloom’s Taxonomy level, or Lexile reading level for more tailored differentiation.

5. Export generated resources

Export your presentation in a variety of formats, ready for use across popular platforms. Depending on the resource type, you can export to:

Slides: PowerPoint (PPTX), Google Slides, PDF

Platforms: Google Classroom, Canvas, Schoology

Documents: PDF, DOCX, Google Docs

Spreadsheets: XLSX, CSV, Google Sheets

Other formats: Images (PNG, JPEG, WEBP) where applicable

Your presentations are securely stored in your Monsha account, available anytime for future access and editing.
