Getting the Most out of PowerPoint

1. Getting the Most out of PowerPoint creativity meets technology y

2. Workshop Outline • Creating your own graphics • Tracing images • Manipulating images • Using animations

3. Symmetry • Try drawing a square below • Now try while holding the Shift key 1 – Creating your own Graphics

4. Positioning and alignment • Try putting the tip of the triangle at the tip of the finger • Now try while holding the alt key 1 – Creating your own Graphics

5. Keeping Proportions • Try stretching the triangle to fit into the box • Now try while holding the Shift key 1 – Creating your own Graphics

6. Keeping Proportions(this time try holding shift and control at the same time) • Select all six shapes below and enlarge • Now try grouping the objects together first 1 – Creating your own Graphics

7. Editing Grouped Objects • Make the pentagon red and each of the surrounding circles different colours • Then bring the pentagon to the front 1 – Creating your own Graphics

8. Making a Graphic • Let’s make an ATP molecule • Trace the ATP using shapes When finished: • Add lines as needed between shapes • hold control then click on each of your shapes and lines • Group the shapes into one object • Delete the original image P P P 2 – Tracing Images

9. Try again 2 – Tracing Images

10. Tracing • Used the curved line tool to trace the car • Hold control to draw a straight line • Double click to finish the shape • Right click and select “edit points” to make adjustments • Group all your shapes to make it a graphic 2 – Tracing Images

11. Finding the Right Image • It is usually best to search for high resolution images using the google search tools 3 – Manipulating Images

12. Manipulating images • Make your fish work on black by using the “remove background” tool 3 – Manipulating Images

13. Manipulating Images • Make it work on a fun background using the “set transparent colour” tool • Now make it whatever colour you want! 3 – Manipulating Images

14. Animations • USE CUSTOM ANIMATIONS • Always display the animation pane • Make the image above “Fly In” from the left • Test the animation by pressing play 4 – Using Animations

15. Object slide • I like to keep a slide of the objects I created that will be used throughout the PowerPoint • Use control + m to create a new slide • Copy and paste your ATP, car, Bunsen burner, fish in blub and flammable sign into this slide. • I have already done this for you using my images. Feel free to do it with yours 4 – Using Animations

16. Let’s Animate • Make this image follow the dotted line 4 – Using Animations

17. Appear / Disappear • Crop the flammable sign to just a flame • Make Bunsen burner lightcausing the car to turn into a fish-bulb 4 – Using Animations

18. Appear / Disappear • Crop the flammable sign to just a flame • Make Bunsen burner lightcausing the car to turn into a fish-bulb 4 – Using Animations
