SESSION CONTENT

Step 1: Presentation of Session Title and Learning Tasks (5 minutes)

READ or ASK student to read the learning objectives and clarify.

ASK students if they have any questions before continuing

Step 2: Animating Slides (30 minutes)

Activity 1: Brainstorm (5 minutes)

ASK student: What is animation in slides?

ALLOW for some responses.

SUMMARIZE and go to information below for Animating slides

Animating slides involves adding movement and sometimes sound to text or to the slides in a presentation. Animation can help create a livelier and more interesting slide show. PowerPoint provides some preset animation or allows you to customize the animation to fit your needs.

To Animate Slides using Animation Schemes

Open the PowerPoint presentation that you want to work on

Select the slide that you want to animate

In the Task Pane, click the down-pointing arrow and select Slide Design – Animation Schemes

Choosing Animation for Your Slides

PowerPoint offers several options for animating your slides

Once you click on Slide Design Animation Schemes, the Slide Design pane appears with a list of options

Click on an Animation Scheme that you think might work well in your presentation. (To preview your choice, make sure that the Auto Preview option is checked).

Preview different schemes to see which one best fit your slides

You can apply different animation to each individual slide or click on APPLY TO ALL SLIDES

Once you have applied your animation you can click on Play or Slide Show to view it

Remove animation by selecting No Animation in the white box

Adding Custom Animation

You can also decide how text and other slide elements 'perform' by using custom animation. You can add effect, set speed and direction, and animate text on your own.

For example, you can decide how words or graphics enter or exit a slide. You may want to begin by adding effect to the titles in your presentation.

To Add Effect to Text

Open the presentation you want to add an effect to

Click on the down-pointing arrow in the Task Pane Custom Animation

Click on Add Effect Entrance.

A list of options appears for the entrance including Blinds, Box, Check board, and Fly In.

Decide how your text will appear on the screen and choose an option.

You can easily remove the effect by clicking Remove. Or, you can modify it by setting direction and speed underneath Modify. (PowerPoint lets you know the specific effect by listing it next to Modify. For example, Modify: Blinds).

Emphasis and Exit

If you want to add an effect to make text or graphics grow, shrink, or change in another way, click on Add Effect Emphasis. Choose an effect. If you want to add an effect to have text or graphics exit the slide, click on Add Effect Exit. Choose the effect.

Setting Direction and Speed

Once you choose an effect, decide the direction for that effect. For example, you may want text to Fly In from the bottom. (Make sure your animation doesn't cross important graphics or text in your presentation)

To Set Direction

Underneath Modify in the Custom Animation pane, click on the down pointing arrow beneath Direction. (Note that direction options vary depending on the type of effect)

The default option is by 1st level paragraphs. This is the level for the main bullet points. Bullets points will enter one at a time on the slide

If you want the bullet points to enter as a group, choose as one object.

If you have multiple levels of bullets in a slide and you want to animate all levels, choose by 2nd level paragraphs if you have 2nd level bullets, and choose by 3rd level paragraphs if you have three levels of bullets etc.

Activities 2: My Hobbies – Fly In (15 minutes)

In this series of activities you will complete one of the PowerPoint presentations you have been working on. Decide whether you would like to continue working on your My Hobbies presentation or the Where I Learn presentation.

Open the presentation you would like to continue working on.

Add an Entrance effect to the title on the first slide in your presentation. Have the text Fly In.

Set the speed and direction– Have the text come in from the left — very fast.

Save your changes.

Select the second slide.

Apply the same Entrance effect to the title of this slide as you did for the first slide. (Fly In from left – very fast).

Animate the bulleted list by having all of the bullets Fly In as one object from the left at medium speed.

Save your changes and close the presentation

Step 3: Creating a Slide Master (35 minutes)

The Slide Master

If you work for a company, you may be asked to prepare long presentations. Or, you may want to prepare slides about a special event or occasion. A Slide Master allows you to create a presentation with different types of slides but enable them to all have the same "look".

The elements that you add to the Slide Master – such as a company logo, background, and font color – will be applied to all of your slides.

Creating a Slide Master

If you have a Slide Master, you don't have to format every single slide in a presentation with the same basic design and text.

To Create a Slide Master

Start a new presentation or open an existing one.

Click on View Master Slide Master.

A slide with placeholders appears.

Figure 8: Slide Master Dialog Box

Click on Format Background.

Figure 9: Background Dialog Box Appears.

Source: Goodwill Community Foundation 2002

Choose a background color. For more colors, click on More Colors.

Select the text in the Master title style placeholder.

Click on the down-pointing arrow next to the font in the Formatting toolbar.

OR

Choose Format Font and choose a font, font color and font style. Close Master View to save changes.

Choosing Fonts for Levels of the Slide Master

As you continue working on your Slide Master, notice that the Master text styles placeholder contains a model of up to five bullets in which the text gets smaller for each level.

In the Slide Master, the font sizes are pre-selected. The sizes are based on what a normal person is able to read from a reasonable distance. You can change the font size, but this is fine-tuning that you might want to do later.

Generally, you should keep the text the same color for the title and all text levels.

To Edit the Text Styles for Each Level

Start a new presentation or open an existing one.

Click on View Master Slide Master.

Select the text and then choose a font and font color in the Formatting Toolbar.

The Title Master

When you create your Slide Master, you can also create a Title Master. This is the second slide that appears in the left pane when you are working on the Slide Master of a presentation using a Design Template.

This is a special slide for the title slide of your presentation. Remember, the Slide Master is a basic blueprint for all the slides of your presentation while the Title Master only addresses the elements of your title slide

To Edit the Title Master

Select the text in the Master title style placeholder.

Choose Format Background and choose a background color.

Click on the down-pointing arrow next to the font in the Formatting Toolbar.

OR

Choose Format Font and choose a font, font color and font style.

Activities 3: My Hobbies – Slide Master (15 minutes)

Open the My Hobbies presentation or the Where I Learn presentation that you worked on in the previous challenge.

Design a Slide Master for this presentation.

Choose such elements as font and background color.

Type your name in the footer area.

Choose Normal View.

Insert a New Slide and notice that all the elements of the Slide Master are present in this new slide.

Save and close the presentation.

Step 4: Spell Check (30 minutes)

Using Spell Check

The Spell Check tool allows you to check your entire presentation for spelling errors. PowerPoint has a dictionary that you can customize with words typically not included in a standard dictionary.

To Use the Spell Check Tool

Click on Tools Spelling.

Figure 12: Spelling Check Tool

Click the Spelling button on the Standard Toolbar.

Scanning for Errors

Once you launch the Spell Check tool, a couple of scenarios can occur:

PowerPoint quickly scans your presentation, searching for words that aren't in its dictionary. If there are no recognizable errors, a dialog box will appear stating that the spelling check is complete.

Figure 13:Spelling Check Notification

Source: Goodwill Community Foundation 2002

If there are possible spelling errors, the Spelling dialog box opens and offers you a number of options. Any unrecognized word appears in the Not in Dictionary box.

You can choose from one of the options in the Spelling dialog box:

Ignore – the word is correct and does not need to be added to the custom dictionary.

Ignore All – ignore all occurrences of the word.

Change – correct the word.

Change All – change all occurrences of the spelling of a word.

Add – add a word to the custom dictionary.

Suggest – PowerPoint suggests possible correct spellings of a word. Scroll through the list to find the correct spelling. Select the appropriate one and click the Change button.

AutoCorrect – automatically corrects many common spelling, typing, and grammatical errors.

Once the entire presentation has been checked for spelling errors, and you have made your corrections or changes, click Close.

The Spell Check tool does not catch all errors. Be sure to read through your text carefully to find any typographical errors.

Step 5: Printing a Slide Presentation (30 minutes)

Previewing and Printing

Once you've corrected any errors in your document, it's time to print. PowerPoint 2003 allows you to preview your presentation before you print. You can preview and print slides, handouts, notes pages and outlines.
