Creating basic timers using animationYou will need a shape that is circular or rectangular. I willlook at a circular shape first of all.1. Draw your circle2. Custom animation>add effect>exit>wheel3. Now you need to edit the animation by clicking effect options (fig.1)4. Change the animation to 1 spoke (fig .2)5. Next change the timing for however long you want the timer to last (fig. 3)See the next slide for my example.7 33. 30 seconds!I filled the circle with theimage of a bomb I saved tomy computer from Googleimages. 7 34. Creating basic timers using animationInstructions for a rectangular timer1. Draw a rectangle and type a duration e.g 30 seconds. Format it so it has no fill but a solid outline.2. Draw another rectangle and fill it with a colour of your choice.3. Select the rectangle and animate add effect>entrance>wipe4. Make it wipe from left (fig.1)5. Now edit the animation by clicking effect options (fig.1)6. Select the timing tab and type 30 seconds (or duration of your choice) (fig.2)7. Place the animated rectangle over the no fill rectangle, make them the same shape and send it to the back so that you can see the text. 7 35. Click to start the timer!30 seconds!7 36. Adding a tickerThis is useful if you want to leave some information up forpupils to remind them of something.1. Insert a text box and place it to the left of your slide (off the slide)2. Animate as follows: Add effect>entrance>crawl in3. Change direction to from right4. Pull down the arrow for more options5. Select timing6. Manually change to 20 seconds and repeat Until End of Slide7 37. Accessing the Developer tabThe two remaining items require the Developer tab, thefollowing instructs you how to show it on the ribbon.1.Click the Microsoft Office Button1.Click PowerPoint Options2.Click Popular, and then select the Show Developer tab in the Ribboncheck box.3.You will now see the Developer tab in the ribbon.7 38. Embedding a Youtube videoThis will guide you to be able to embed a Youtube video directlyon to a PowerPoint show. Firstly, you need the Developer tab onthe ribbon1. Firstly, Open the Developer tab and click on More Controls2. You will now see a long list of controls that you can add to yourPowerPoint presentation. Scroll through the list and select Shockwave flashobject3. Click OK to continue use your cursor to draw a rectangular image somewhere on the slide. This rectangular object will eventually hold the YouTube video, so try to draw it accordingly but you can resize it later.4. Right-click and select properties. 7 39. Embedding a Youtube video continued Once you click properties you will see the box on the right 5. Now you must add the URL of the YouTube video to the Moviefield. You will have to make a couple of changes here to ensurethat your video plays correctly. In my example, the original URL ofthis video on YouTube is:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hChq5drjQl46. Before adding this URL to the Movie field, delete the watch?text and replace the = that follows the v with a / character.The resulting URL would look like this:http://www.youtube.com/v/hChq5drjQl47. You may also choose to make other changes in the Propertieswindow, depending on how you want your video to play. In thisexample, Ive changed the Loop field to False since I only wantthe video to play through one time. In addition, I also changed thePlaying field to False because Id rather manually start the videothan have it automatically begin to play when the slide is shown.8. Click on the x in the upper right-hand corner of the window to 7close it. All of your changes will be saved. 40. Embedding a Youtube video example7 41. Enabling text typing during a presentationThis requires the Developer tab, it is useful if you wantpupils to label something on a slide.1. Make a slide on which you want pupils to add information. My example shows a plant cell to label.2. Colour the background of the slide so that you can see the text boxes easily.3. Open the Developer tab and select textbox (active X control)4. The mouse cursor turns into a crosshair, which is a drawing tool. Click and drag diagonally to draw a text box large enough to type into.7 42. Enabling text typing during a presentation ctd5. The default font selection willprobably be too small to see easily ifyou project the computer to ascreen. Many properties of a textbox can be changed. To do so, right-click the text box and selectproperties.6. From the list of propertiesavailable select Font. Change thefont as you would normally.7. Copy and paste your text boxesjust like you would with any object.See an example on the next slide.7 43. Label a plant cellWord bankchloroplast > vacuole > cytoplasm > cell wall> mitochondrion > nucleus >cytoplasmic membrane > 44. Adding a scroll barIf you think that you may need more space in which totype than is available in the text box then you can add ascroll bar.Use the same process as for a regular text box object, but add thefollowing step:In the Properties list, find the Scrolling section and click onScrollBars. Select option 2. When your text no longer fits in the textbox object, it will automatically create a scroll bar on the right side.(If your text does fit in the text box object, no scroll bar will appear.)Make sure you have selected MultiLine: True.This feature is also useful if you have a lot of text to describe apicture on a slide. Rather than creating multiple slides with thesame picture, you can use a scrollable text box to contain your longtext.7 45. Answers1. 1202. 3453. 6574. 8275. 47646. 7251
