11
How to Use Interactive Presentations in the Classroom Present Content in an interactive way –Teacher to Audience Student Interaction Creation –Teacher to Student Student Assessment –Type on Slides –Quizzes –Interactive activities –Application of knowledge Student to Audience
12
PowerPoint + VBA Ask and evaluate questions Evaluate questions Track responses Store information Provide feedback Generate reports
13
Ready to Start Let’s create Interactive PowerPoint Presentations using VBA! Open PowerPoint Start a New Presentation Save As VBA_PPT and save on Desktop
14
Visual Basic Application (VBA) 1.Design Form (Control Toolbox) 2.Set Properties (Properties) 3.Create Code (Visual Basic Editor)
15
Getting Started Controlling Navigation –Turning on Kiosk Mode Enabling Macros –Changing Security Setting
16
Kiosk Mode Controls navigation Viewers/Students navigate through Buttons and Hyperlinks Only automatic animations will work Save presentation as a PowerPoint Show -.pps
17
Kiosk Mode 1.Slide Show Menu 2.Select Set-up Show Click “Browsed at a Kiosk (full screen)” & OK 1 2
18
Security Settings – Change Macro Settings 1.Tools Menu 2.Options Macro Security Button Choose Level – Medium or Low 1 2
19
ActiveX Controls Fun with the Control ToolBox
20
Active X Control Toolbar View Toolbars Control ToolBox
21
Active X Control Toolbar View Code Textbox Option Button Combo Box Spin Button Label More Controls Properties Check Box Command Button List Box Toggle Button Scroll Bar Image
22
Type On Slides Great Assessment Tool! How to Create a “Type-On” Slide Recording Responses during a Live Presentation
23
Type on Slides Add a picture Add textboxes to label parts of the picture
24
Type on Slides 1.Draw Textbox Control beside each part to identify 2.Click on Properties Control Find a picture that you would like students to identify parts/components and paste it to a slide
25
Type on Slides 1.Draw Textbox Control 2.Click on Properties Control
26
Type on Slides 1.Select True in Properties for EnterKeyBehavior and Multiline Textbox Control
27
Type on Slides 1.Click on Label control & draw over Textbox Control 2. Click on Properties & add text to Label Control Caption property
28
Type on Slides 1.Change the following properties: Back color Font Fore Color Text Align
29
Type on Slides
30
1.Click on Action Button & draw under Textbox Control 2. Click on Properties & change Back Color, Caption, Font, Fore Color
31
Type on Slides To add actions to the ActiveX controls: 1.Double-click the command button control to display the Visual Basic Editor 2.Set a reference to the Microsoft Scripting Runtime –On the Tools menu, click References, and then select the Microsoft Scripting Runtime check box
32
Type on Slides Insert the code between "Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()" and "End Sub“ –Copy and paste the code in the.txt file Type_On_Slide_VBA_Code Click on SAVE & Close Visual Editor Click on SAVE & Run the Show Take the quiz Look for results
33
Type on Slides How to improve quiz? –Add Name Label & Textbox controls –Add option button questions Add label –May “Copy & Paste” –Add option button controls –Edit properties Textbox - Select True in Properties for EnterKeyBehavior and Multiline –Edit code
34
VBA Scripting
35
Screen Shot of Visual Basic Editor
36
Visual Basic for Applications Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) –Classes = Types of Things –Objects = Specific Things –Methods = What You Do With Things
37
Class -> Object -> Method Cars = Class of Thing Toyota Corolla = Specific Object in Class Driving in my car = Specific method to do with my car
38
VB Keywords Sub = Subroutine Dim = Declared Variable Variable Types –String –Boolean (True or False values) ‘ before a comment (turns green)
39
Good Programming Practice Use LOTS of comments –what your code does and why Comment each subroutine and function with a description –what it does –what input and output it takes
40
40 Convert to VBA myCar = Object of Class Cars myCar.Drive = Method/Action that can be done on Object of Class Cars “Hershey” = the Argument for the Method – Where I am driving to Dim myCar as Corolla myCar.Drive (“Hershey”) Setting Variables
41
Macros An action or a set of actions you can use to automate tasks. Macros are recorded in the VBA code
42
VBA –Message Box Hold Alt and F11 Insert Module – If not there Type Sub SayHello() MsgBox (“Hello”) End sub – (Will Appear Automatically) Run Script Run Menu
43
Add VBA Script to Button Assign the Hello macro to an action button Draw Button from AutoShapes – Action Buttons From Action Settings Select Run Macro Right Click on Button and Select Add Text Add text to Action Button
44
VBA –Input Box Hold Alt and F11 Insert Module – If not there Type Sub YourName() userName = InputBox(Prompt:="Type your name", _ Title:="Input Name") End Sub Run Script Run Menu
45
