Getting FancySlide transitions
What they are
Slide transitions are ways of going from one picture to the next.
They can add shape or dimension to a picture
You’ve used them in PowerPoint I’m sure
Be Careful
The awesome video we watched on Wed (4/6) did not use transitioning too often
Transitions can get old fast or be too much
They can take away from the power of your words or images
