Module+8

//**Chantel's demonstration**// ==== WOW Chantel! You ROCK!!!!! :) My suggestion would be that you have step 4 disappear on the second slide just in case the students want to go back over steps 1-3. The only issue with my suggestion is that I don't know how to do that....I tried to get mine to do that too but I couldn't get it to work. So if you know how, please let me know. Also, do you know why I have to click on "step 2" twice? Thanks for being amazing!!!-Janet ==== One trick I figured out with the triggers is you can create the animations, once your triggers and animations are set up for the first step, and then click and drag them down underneath the triggers for the rest of the steps. This saved me a ton of time. -Julie

Great work! I'm impressed. If you want to be able to view the steps in any order then you have to add exit animation for the other steps, i.e., when you trigger Step 1 you already have an exit animation for Textbox 12 and you need to add exit animation for steps 2, 3, and 4. Then you do the same for Step 2 add exit animation for Textbox 12 and steps 1, 3, and 4. Then you can view the steps in any order. Hope this is helpful. dm

I am not sure why you have to click step two twice. I took the whole step two out and reapplied it and it still had to be clicked twice. I am sorry. As for going back to other steps... (leaving step 4 and going to step 2) it is very possible. You have to exit all objects on every step. It might not be a bad idea, but very time consuming. I will think about it. Thank you. CR

Very nice work. Suggestion: you need to add directions to let learner know to click on the steps to get directions. Also see comment above to be able to return to previous steps so unwanted information disappears. Chantel is correct, very time consuming. I'l puzzled by why two clicks for Step 2. Hmmm?

Okay, here is a trick to make it a little easier to make unwanted parts disappear. At the beginning of the animation animate all the items to disappear, //Start With Previous.// Then animate all of the items disappear at the beginning of each step. Start with click and have the items for the step last in the list. So they disappear first and then appear. Use //Start After Previous// or it will try to appear and disappear at the same time causing problems. This simplifies keeping track for each step. dm

Janet- Good Job, I like your problem and the chart. -Julie


 * JaNae's Module 8: The Problem**



JaNae - your words that say "Click here to go to step _" are not linked. Also your link to ABCNews does not work. I love the topic. I learned somethings. CR It's actually the box right above where it says that where you click. If you click the box it should take you to the right slide. Did you try that? I guess I needed to be more specific. Thanks! Very good problem. Nice links to online resources. Suggestion: Add text to the box to return to the menu rather than putting the click here message below the box. This is easy to do just right click the rectangle and choose the // edit text // option. Policy caution -- be sure you have included sources that claim he has fulfilled some promises plus sources that claim he has not. Most schools have a policy against partisan politics so you need to be careful that your assignment is balanced. You may want to present both sides and have the students decide whether the information they gather supports or fails to support the claims rather than merely checking promise fulfilled or not fulfilled. dm

JaNae- Good work champ!!! Be sure you buttons are clear :) -Janet

JaNae- your lessons are fun to follow and work through. Navigation buttons would help at the bottom. -Julie Julie's Demonstration

For All of Step 2 and for Step 1 of Step 3 I have to wait for screen shots from our library software in order to finish. It is suppose to be online but they are updating the software and it won't be available until next Monday. But this should give you a good idea of what I am trying to do. I had correct and incorrect working on last slide, but it quit working when I added return to problem in corner..any ideas?

Suggestion: You have included the steps (information) that is necessary to solve the problem but you have not demonstrated a portrayal of the problem. A portrayal would be show the result of executing the step. Step 1 does this a bit but Step 2 does not include a portrayal. For each step "Type int he subject or book title ..." you need to show a screen where this has been completed or is typed in as the learner watches. You need a Camtasia or other program where you can produce a short demonstration of the execution of the substeps in Step 2 for Brandon. dm Julie-Nice work make sure to get all the info in there that you need. :)-Janet I am sorry, I didn't get to formally evaluate your site before you fixed it. However, I think you did a great job this time. CR
