Stop Animation with Google Slides
Thanks to Corey Coble from Creekside Ranch for the great idea and training. Connect with him @cvrscience7 on Twitter.
Basic Movement  Example
Social Studies Example - Time Line
Basic Information
  1. Small image of slide on the left is called a THUMBNAIL
  2. Slide or Object is selected if outlined in BLUE
  3. Ctrl + D will duplicate a slide
  4. Use your arrow keys to make precise small movements
  5. Use your shape tool and text box for best effects
  6. If using clipart - PNG files work best (no background)
  7. If moving multiple objects at once that are next to each other GROUP them by selecting all and going to ARRANGE than GROUP. When done just UNGROUP
  8. Set objects off of page to begin with to get a fly in effect
  9. 24 Slides is equal to about 1 Second
  10. When working with text make movements / adjustments not every slide but every few slides (Think about how long does the information need to be on the screen for you to read it - you might duplicate a slide many times without doing anything to it so the text is readable)
  11. Check your work often - mistakes will be easier to fix
  12. Make a plan before starting - create a storyboard
  13. You can create everything you need for all your slides at the start of your project. Just put them off the page to be grabbed when needed
  14. FInished? - Publish to Web and get your link or embed code
  15. Change your link / embed code's delayms from 3000 to 120 (Don't go below 100)
  16. Remember the smaller the number the faster your video
Teachers
1. This is a great way to have students demonstrate mastery of a subject or skill. Give students clear expectations on what you are looking for - academic vocabulary, complete sentences, specific images, etc., but don't require them to copy your example. Give them some creative freedom, you will be amazed at what they will come up with.

2. A rubric would be a great tool to assess their learning with this tool.

​3. Collecting work - have students email you their url link or submit by Google Form, just remind them to change their delay from 3000 to 120 before. A great idea is to have them put their link on a shared Google Sheet with the entire class. Then have the students review each other's work and have them give feedback right on the form (Questions, Concerns, Suggestions, Kudos). I always project the spreadsheet in front of the entire class and watch as they do this part of the assignment so I can give feedback (positive and corrective) while they are actually doing it. Students are less likely to write in appropriate comments if everyone can see what is happening in real time.
