Delete this slide Although multiple images were used to create each slide, they are saved together as a single image file. This means that you cannot remove or change an icon. You can add more if you want, but what is there is there to stay. Invisible shapes have been used to make the buttons “work,” so be careful not to move or delete them (this should be easy to avoid). Finished templates have to be distributed this way, so that I’m not “giving you” the individual image files themselves. Even though most of what I use are free images, this isn’t always the case. Any and all text in the template is changeable, however, so that you may redefine what an icon represents. Also remember that a less complete version of this template is available in the “Backgrounds” area of the website. The font used on the chalkboard in the ‘Directions’ section is titled DK Crayon Crumble, and is available for free download at and numerous other locations. The intention of any of the developed templates is that you should be able to add your content (in the form of text, pictures, audio, or whatever you like) to the skeletal frame of the interactive structure. They are not meant to be “best case scenarios,” but rather “one size fits all” introductory examples that people can try out as they learn what they do and do not want to include on their own products. Publishing information can be found on the website, or on the last slide of this presentation. Should any step or effort prove difficult or frustrating to you, or if you notice a glitch in one of the presentations, feel free to me at Thank you!

Directions for what to do after completing the assignment, or information about the next unit of study.

Delete this slide When you have added any and all information, images, audio, or video you are going to include in your lesson, in the places you want to have them, complete the following steps to publish this activity for student use: 1.Under the ‘Slide Show’ tab at the top of the screen, click “Set Up Slide Show.” 2.For “Show Type,” set “Browsed at a Kiosk.” Hit OK. 3.Go to “File,” “Save As,” and change “PowerPoint Presentation” to “PowerPoint Show.” Or, you can use “PowerPoint Show” to ensure greater compatibility (this shouldn’t be necessary, but as late as 2013 outdated software made this necessary in my school district). Now that your product is finished, it’s just a matter of getting it to students. Any one of the following systems can be used to do so: 1.A website. If you have one through your district that will let you upload files for download, this is the safest bet. Otherwise, there are a large number of hosting sites out there. 2.A flash drive, or a series of flash drives. There are certainly plenty of cheap ones out there now, and they can make the process a quick one…for example, having one flash drive for each table of students (say, six or seven in all) and one person at each table in charge of getting it and putting the file on the computers. 3.CD-RW’s. Believe it or not, I used this (time consuming) system for a long time, with one key reason: our internet access was inconsistent, and by loading files onto 25 CD-RW’s (like I said, time consuming!!) I could maintain access for as long as I’d like. In other words, students who are gone or who fail to finish the work can still go back and open that activity weeks later. It also allows you to make small adjustments to the file (adding audio, changing the amount of work due, etc.) so that you can differentiate for each student.
