This set of slides gives you a guide to create your own TED-talk-style presentation in Google Slides.
One of the hallmarks of a TED talk is actually how little the speaker tends to rely on visual aids, if at all. TED talk slides tend to be sparse, minimal, and image heavy. They provide a backdrop and visual context for the story being told, but they are not intended to be read. As a result, there IS no standard TED talk template.
But don't worry, you can still use this presentation to help you prepare you own talk.
