High-quality, school-safe images are here

If you've used Teachmate's Slideshow Generator before, it's time to take another look.

Because we have completely rebuilt it.

The brand new Teachmate Slideshow Generator takes you from lesson idea to a curriculum-aligned, ready-to-teach slideshow in minutes - now with school-safe, high-quality imagery, new themes, multiple activity blocks, answer slides and a fully customisable editor.

This isn't just an update to the old generator. It's a whole new experience, designed to create slides that perfectly suit your class, and the way you teach.

Start with your lesson, not a blank slide

Tell Teachmate your curriculum, subject, topic, year group and learning objective, then choose the length of slideshow you need.

You can also set a different reading age, plan for a mixed year group or add your own instructions to give Teachmate more direction.

Already have something to work from? Upload a lesson plan, scheme of work, textbook page or knowledge organiser and Teachmate can use your existing materials to guide your slides.

Now with school-safe, high-quality images

One of the biggest changes? Your slides can now include relevant, school-safe, high-quality images throughout.

Choose from a growing collection of themes and designs, including options for different subjects as well as SEND and EYFS.

And you're never stuck with what Teachmate generates. Swap an image, edit the text, reorder your slides or remove anything you don't need.

Teach it your way

Rather than giving every teacher the same generic lesson structure, the new generator lets you choose how you want to teach it.

Choose from approaches including Rosenshine's Principles, 5E Learning Cycle, I do, we do, you do, Metacognition and Independence and Structured Talk and Discussion, or stick with a standard lesson structure.

Teachmate then builds your slideshow around your choices, complete with structured lesson content, relevant activities and corresponding answer slides.

Make it yours, then teach it

Generation is only the starting point.

Every slide is fully customisable, so you can edit the content, swap images, reorder slides, add activities or cut anything you don't need.

When you're happy, teach straight from Teachmate or export your finished slideshow to use anywhere.

Built for the way you actually teach

The best lesson slides aren't one-size-fits-all. They're shaped around your students, your objective and the way you want to teach.

That's what we've built the new Slideshow Generator to do - giving you a stronger starting point, while keeping you in control of every slide.

Your lesson. Your way. Just without the blank slides.
