Animating Google Slides



I'm testing the animation and transition features of google slides. I discovered that the Research Tool is now called Explore. I found the pictures fine but I'm not able to search by licence - I presume these are all images that are labelled for non-commercial reuse. It was straight forward to do this and I hope my three classes on Friday enjoy it.

Well, the three classes loved making their own animations. Although all used the honey bee and ant storyline, some embellished the story by adding other text and relevant backgrounds. One student showed me his animation with the story taking place in a field, another on a flower - what great imaginations the students have! Most students posted proudly to their individual blogs. I suggested that they might now offer to teach another class in the Outreach (through Tuhi Mai Tuhi Atu) these new skills.
