Extensions

In this extension, you will change the design of your digital badge to make it more unique.

Changing the design of your badge will add some variety to the badges that your class uses.

To start, open Google Drive.

Find the badge you made during the main lesson.

Next, make a copy of your badge and rename it.

Then, change the shape of your badge.

Choose a shape that makes your badge distinct from your original badge.

Adjust your new shape so that it is large enough to fit your text but leaves some background color.

Add a drop shadow to make your shape look three-dimensional.

Adjust the drop shadow settings to make the effect more noticeable.

Then, add a shadow effect to the text.

When you have completed your changes, download your drawing as a JPEG file.

Then, add it to your personal scrapbook next to your original badge.

Now, it's your turn: make a copy of your original badge and rename it, choose a new shape for your badge, add a drop shadow to your badge shape and text, download your badge as a JPEG file, and add it to your personal scrapbook.

In this extension, you will add transitions and animations to the slides in your personal scrapbook.

"Transitions" are a way to move from slide to slide smoothly and with a bit of style.

To begin, open Google Drive.

Find your personal slide scrapbook.

Then, change your slide transitions.

There are a number of options to choose from.

You can try different transitions by adding one at a time to the slide, then playing it to see how it will look.

When you have chosen a transition, you can adjust the speed of the transition.

You can then apply the transition to all the slides in your scrapbook, Or use a different transition for each slide.

Next, add animations to the badges in your scrapbook.

Animations can make your scrapbook more lively and can also add additional emphasis to your badges.

Just like with transitions, you can try out different animations to see which you prefer.

You can adjust when each object appears, and how fast each animation occurs.

Then, add animations to see other badges in your scrapbook.

If you have not received any badges yet, you can use these steps when you do.

Play your scrapbook from the beginning to see how your transitions and animations look all together.

Now, it's your turn: add transitions to your slides, and add animations to objects in your slides.

In this extension, you will add descriptions to the badges in scrapbook slides about how you earned your badges.

To begin, open Google Drive.

Find your personal slide scrapbook.

Click to the slide with your badge.

Then, change the layout of your slide to give yourself more room to type a description.

Add a brief description of why you chose to represent this particular trait with your badge.

Next, add descriptions to any slides with badges you have already received.

If you have not received any yet, you can use these steps when you do.

Move your badge off to the side of the text box to give yourself space to type a description.

Next, add a short description to tell what you did or said to earn the badge.

You can also add who gave you the badge.

You can keep the same layout for each text box and description, or change them to add variety to your scrapbook.

As you earn new badges, include descriptions when you add them to your scrapbook.

Now, it's your turn: adjust the layout of your slides to make room for descriptions, and add descriptions about your badges.
