If you haven’t heard of or used the gradient feature before, it is probably because most of the uses I’ve seen for it have been less than awesome looking. Me (internally slapping my forehead with my palm): Oh my goodness! No way! I never thought to use it like that!

Me: How did you make your text rainbow like THAT!?!?! Pinto’s classroom was different! It was Word Art – which allows you to have a border around the letters – and instead of each letter being a different color, they were all multi-colored!!! So… back to my question: Okay… so I know THAT way… but what I saw in Ms. Note: Hearts added to keep students names private.ĭuring her planning time, I happened to pop by about something unrelated (because I do actually care about things OTHER than how cute stuff looks…) but I admit, I quickly changed the subject to “how did you do make your text RAINBOW like that?!?!?”īefore I share Barbara’s answer, I should mention, that I do know a way to make rainbow text very easily in Google Slides using the Magic Rainbow Unicorns Slides Add-on. I’ll admit it – I’ve jumped on the pastel rainbow bandwagon and there’s no turning back!!!! (Well maybe, when the next adorable trend turns my head… but for now… I’m all about those rainbows!) Rainbows have brought me joy since I was a kid in the 80s and I am more than happy that they are again surfacing as super cool (I was super cool back then, right? – Don’t answer that.) I walked by 3rd grade teacher Barbara Pinto‘s classroom last week more than once and was intrigued not only by the rainbow title text, but also by her blended learning slide (but more on that another time).
