Countdown TimersThe following slides contain a series of timers
that can be used in PowerPoint 2003, they may also work in earlier
versions of PowerPoint.To see the timers in action, click the mouse
to move forward a slide, then click again to start timer. Clicking
again will forward the timer to the end of its sequence.The idea
behind this, is one way to make a PowerPoint presentation to a
large audience, slightly more interactive, is to set the students a
question, activity, calculation etc. If appropriate a timer can be
introduced, to time how long is available for them to complete the
activity.There are timers for 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 2
minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes and 20 minutes.To use a timer, all
you need to do is enter the editing mode of PowerPoint - copy
desired timer into your presentation, each timer is made up of many
components, so when copying you need to use the mouse to select all
the components to do this click and hold the mouse, top left of the
timer, then whilst holding mouse button down, drag the mouse to
bottom right of timer and release everything within the region
should be selected. You can now copy go into your presentation and
paste. Timers can be resized, or formatted just make sure you
highlight all of the items at the same time (by using same method
as above).The timers are preset to start on the click of the mouse,
this could be changed to start automatically on going to that
slide, or on the click of a button. You would need to change the
custom animation settings for this.There is a sound effect at the
end of each timer this is the Laser sound effect within PowerPoint
this could easily be removed or replaced with your own sound
effect.
