Agenda
• View, learn and practice various
PowerPoint animation techniques
– PowerPoint Built-in Animation
– Key frame Animation
– ‘Flash Once’
Why Would We Do This?
• A different way for kids to communicate
• Demonstrating understandings of
concepts meaningfully
• Student motivation
• Can be time consuming
PowerPoint’s Built-in Custom Animation
Right-click on a picture and choose ‘Custom Animation’. Click the ‘Add Effect’ button
to choose an effect and make further selections from the ‘Modify effect’ section. Click
the ‘Play’ button in the bottom right to test out your animation! Multiple effects can be
added to a single image, and you can rearrange the order of each animation or delete
certain animations.
To see how an item was animated, right-click on it
and choose ‘Custom Animation…’

Key frame Animation
Key frame Animation With Sprites
Copy  Paste a
sprite sheet into
Paint. Use the
selection tool to
isolate the sprite
you want. Copy 
paste back into
PPT
http://sprites.fireball20xl.com/
Doing a Google search for ‘sprites’ works well
You’ll need to ‘eyeball’ where to
place each sprite, and one sprite
per slide
If you have a color
background, open the
‘Picture’ toolbar,
choose the ‘magic
wand’ and click on the
sprite’s background to
make it transparent
Flash Once Animation

•
•
Once your image is in the slide, right-click and choose
‘Custom Animation…’
Choose the entrance (green star) effect ‘Flash Once’
From the custom animation menu, choose the ‘Timing’
feature of that particular ‘Flash Once’ animation
Start ‘After Previous’ and initially choose speed ‘0.5 seconds
(Very Fast)’
Change the 0.5 to about 0.1 seconds, then ‘OK’
Now copy  paste this image (and therefore its animation
settings) on the same screen and use the rotation button
(green dot) to move it around the screen. Repeat this copypaste on the same screen as many times as you need to
Thank You!
