=**JaNae's Funtional Prototype**=



I really like this! I like your slide where you click which president. It is visually well put together and your images are crisp. The only suggestion I have is you have navigation buttons on every slide but the last one :) You may want to add them for conformity, if it doesn't take away from your simulation. Good Job. I agree with the navigation let me know. CR Thanks Chantel... Life has been crazy that past little while. I'm getting married and am alittle late on some things. I might take you up on your help with the triggers.

Good job. I liked your application to Africa and the link to YouTube. Suggestion Go to Slide Show/Set Up Slide Show/Browsed by an individual window. This is a bit more convenient than having PowerPoint take over the whole screen. dm

JaNae-it seems like you had the same problem I did of having the "correct + info" and "incorrect" come up at the appropriate time and have the other one disappear.....I still need to work on that......are they supposed to be simultaneous? That is what I'm trying to do. I get confused with the sequence of things while doing the triggers. I might be getting some help from Chantel. :) Seems like they are....see Dr. Merrill's comment on mine :) =Janet´s Functional Prototype=



Hi Janet! I really like how your two graphs side by side show the correct graph and a misconception graph. When I clicked on your graph slide "correct" showed up with the images. However my PPT has been crashing for the last two days so it may just be my computer. Yeah I had issues with that page but now that I have my power point in English I'm going to spend some time to figure that out. Thanks.

Good application. In order to have one feedback message disappear you need to set the disappear animation to start after next. In this way when the learner clicks the graph one message appears and the other disappears. To have the correct feedback not present when the slide starts you have to set it to disappear when the slide opens. I would also suggest putting the feedback messages under the graph to which they apply. See suggestion for JaNae on setting show to individual window. dm

Do you need help setting up the triggers? I would love to help you. CR I'll work on it this week and let you know if I can't figure it out. Thank you so much! It was just a crazy week and I didn't spend the time I needed to.

Janet- looking good. Did you figure out the triggers? I'm still working on it. The graphs were a nice touch and it helps to have a visual of the data. I understand the giving good quality time on an assignment. My life has been crazy!! -JaNae

This looks great Chantel! I like how your images actually represent what their codes would look like. Some navigation buttons back to the home slide would make it easier to click the next link :)

Obviously you should be teaching how to use PowerPoint :-) Good job. See suggestion for JaNae for having slide how appear in an individual window. Are you having fun? dm

Chantel-that was AWESOME!!! I hope I can figure out how to get my transitions to flow like yours....I should be able to :) You must have a lot of experience with power point. As for suggestions...........maybe you could add sounds to your animations now that you're a pro!

Chantel- How do you know power point so well? Nice job! I really might be taking you up on your offer to help with the triggers. Getting married this saturday so maybe after that I'll get in touch. Keep up the good work! -JaNae

**Julie's Functional Prototype**


Some suggestions. 1. Go to Transitions and unclick Advance Slide On Mouse Click. This turns off the automatic slide advance or action on any button click. 2. Select all of the objects of one color and group them together. Select the feedback message "Correct" or "Incorrect" and then use clicking on the color group to trigger the feedback message. 3. When you get this working you could actually combine slides 1-5 into a single slide. Would take a bit more animation programming to get the message to disappear when the next color is selected. See my comments to Janet for how to do this. Chantel take a look at Julie's PPT and see if you can help her implement these suggestions. Thanks dm

Julie you have a great start. I would combine your slides. You have to offset the text boxes so that you can select them. It is confusing but I know you can do it. I will help you. CR

Julie- that looks great! Nice work with the color panels and colored words. Neat! The only thing that was a little confusing to me was when you got the last slide correct the next arrow went back to that question. Good Luck :)

Julie- I always forget to turn off the automatic click. However, that is a pretty important step... so remember! :) Maybe we all need to get some help from Chantal on power point. I agree with Janet's comment with the last slide. -JaNae
