Animate Your Slide

In this video, you will animate the objects one at a time that you placed on your slide.

Animating objects like text and images is a way to add movement to your slide and make it look interesting and fun! To begin, click on an object.

Each object has a separate box, and when you click on an object, you are clicking on one of those boxes.

Now, look at the options for animating an object.

Each option will cause the object to appear, disappear, or move in a certain way.

You can also choose how to present each animation.

Using the on click option gives you full control over when each object appears.

You might use this option if you plan to pause to explain each object on your slide.

The other options will cause an object to appear either after or at the same time as another object in the slide.

To make sure you have enough time to describe each object as it animates, you may want to use the option on click.

You can also change the speed at which objects will animate.

Select a speed that will allow your audience to see each animation clearly without slowing down your presentation too much.

Have fun experimenting with animations as you add them to each object.

Now, preview your animations in Present mode.

Don’t forget -- if you choose on click for any of the animations, you will need to click to get the animation to appear.

Make any adjustments if you would like.

Great job on completing your slide! Now, move on to add an emoji...

...A rebus puzzle...

...Or both options to make your slide represent you even more.

If you will be doing both, feel free to move your objects around to make more space.

Now, it’s your turn: Create animations for all the objects on your slide, preview the animations, and adjust the animations as needed.
