Use Insert / Text Box to make the three text boxes for the correct answer and the two wrong answer feedback texts. We could animate text, images, or anything on the page. To make an animation within the PowerPoint slide, we first need something to animate. We now need to set up our feedback text boxes and then associate them with the correct button and select the appropriate action. Choose good colors for your buttons and slide background. We can right-click on these buttons and use Edit Text (or just double-click and type) to place the names of the three bands on the buttons. Next we'll insert our three blank Action Buttons using Insert / Shapes / Action Buttons and then selecting the blank Custom button. This will also give us a place to put the correct answer when the student finds the answer. We'll ask a question and provide a cue to get the student started on the answer. Insert a new slide using the Layout that you prefer (Home / New Slide). This is basically what you would put in a storyboard, so it includes all of the objects in the slide (buttons, text, sound, and what they will do). Plan out where everything should be located: question, answer, feedback. Initially, the choices will be visible, but the answer or the 'No' feedback will fly in only when the appropriate action button is clicked. We will play a song and ask the student to identify the group that is singing. Here we want to do all of our animation inside of a single slide.įirst decide on an interactive task.

In another lesson we used hyperlinking between slides to provide interaction. Certain features in this lesson work differently in previous version of PowerPoint.
