Preparing interactive maps is now very popular. There are great opportunities to use ready-made interactive maps online from the Internet, but in class, speed can let us down. In addition, we can prepare our interactive maps based on the educational objectives that we set for ourselves. The proposed demo version of the map can easily be used for interactive whiteboard with proper setup. So, let's start creating an interactive map. Step one. Insert the main card. In this case, a map of Russia. Astvatsaturov G.O., Armavir further

Attention! For interactive map It makes more sense to customize not an object, but an entire slide. Step two. In the slide changer we find the “rectangle out” mode. With it, the effect of changing cards is most rational. In the “slide change” we also uncheck the “click” and “automatic” modes. Step three. Now we need to create hyperlinks. They will be selected objects - this or that region, even a populated area. In our specific case, we will select Krasnodar region and Karelia. We highlight them with a polyline. We get objects that will later become hyperlinks. Pay attention! A solid fill is required so that the hyperlink appears not only along the outline, but throughout the entire object. We adjust the format of the resulting picture to 100% transparency. further

Step four. We place the regional maps we need on separate slides. Let me remind you that all slides are changed in the “rectangle out” mode. Step five. We make each of the selected objects hyperlinks to the corresponding maps. The recommended hyperlink action is “on mouse over”. In this mode, the interactive map works most efficiently. If necessary, we can continue to deepen the content, that is, move from the region map to the city map ( settlement). From here - to individual objects. Step six. Don’t forget to place “return buttons” on all maps, both on the main map and on the map, for example, of the region. So what do we get? further

Presentation - great way convey information briefly and clearly. We strive to make it beautiful and unforgettable, informative and impressive. However, everyone is already tired of template slides, popular stock images and diagrams. Using outdated techniques and graphics you will no longer be able to produce an effect on the viewer. Below we will look at some fresh ideas that will help convey your information in an interesting and understandable way for everyone.

1. “People” (or about infographics)

Almost all people do not perceive dry statistics well. After all, numbers by themselves do not tell us anything. Therefore, it is very important to present information in such a way that it is perceived on an intuitive level, and the viewer does not have to make a lot of effort to understand and comprehend it. Infographics come to the rescue – i.e. a way of presenting numerical or statistical information in graphical form.
Let's say we want to tell you that only 20% of people with active driver's license have their own car. Of course, you can write about this in text or make pie chart, as in this example:

Or you can present the information more clearly. 20% is 1/5, that is, 2 people out of 10 or 4 people out of 20. Let's use this and make a slide in which everything will be obvious:

By adding figures of people and cars, we turned the statistics into an interesting image that not only attracts attention, but also helps the viewer imagine how much it is - twenty percent. While a regular diagram does not have such properties, and generally resembles “pac-man” :)

2. Big numbers

Another way to effectively present digital information is to make the numbers huge. Literally! Let's compare two slides:

The placement of information on the first slide allows us to insert a photo of a cute dog, but on the other hand, this dog distracts attention from the content. The second slide makes you think about numbers. Here we need to start from the storyteller’s task: if the goal is to evoke an emotional reaction, then we use the first slide, if we focus on facts, we use the second.

3. Dark background

Typically, presentations use a light, calm background. Most often this is justified, but you should not be afraid of a dark background. It can be stylish and beautiful! For watch presentations, jewelry, “luxury” brands, equipment and much more, a dark background is perfect. You don't have to use black, there are a lot of beautiful dark shades.

4. Weighing

When we need to compare two products, evaluate the pros and cons, show the pros and cons, we make lists. And sometimes such reasoning needs to be displayed directly on the slides. The question arises: how to make these studies visual for the viewer and at the same time push him to make the “right” decision? In this case, you can use a little trick and depict scales on the slide. You can use stylized scales, Themis scales, market scales - whatever your imagination and style of a particular presentation allows. The SmartArt Balance object is a joy to use in PowerPoint.
Do you need an iPhone? Let's look at the slides:

Both slides make the same arguments, but in the first case we don't get the impression that we should buy an iPhone. But the second example with scales clearly inclines us to buy =)

5. Maps

We show any geographical data on maps! If we work with clients from other countries, cities, regions, feel free to place a map on the slide and mark these locations with color. Within one city, you can draw a metro map indicating the stations where our sales points are located. Even the most beautiful bulleted list will not give the effect that it does. regular card. And, of course, if we make a map that outlines how to get to our office, clients will be very grateful.

For example, consider two slides:

The first slide simply contains a list of airfields, the second slide contains the same airfields, but linked to a map. Obviously, in terms of perception, the second slide is much more convenient.

6. Drawing

When you're in last time did you hold a pencil in your hands? Why? – you rightly ask. After all, everything is much more convenient and faster on a computer. However, using hand-drawn objects in a presentation can have an unexpected and very powerful effect! This move will be useful for designers, wedding and event planners, furniture manufacturers, and many others.
Let's say we have a furniture store and we want to sell a sofa. How to show the client that our sofa is exactly what he was looking for? Of course, you need to list all its advantages and technical specifications, but buying is emotional action. First of all, we need to make a person want to have this sofa at home. Many companies already use a method where the client can upload a photo of his interior and insert products from the store there, selecting the ones that suit him. Unfortunately, this will not be possible in the presentation. But sometimes abstract interior items drawn with a regular white marker advertise a store better than any photographs:

In the example given, we filled the interior of a potential client with simple objects that everyone has and, of course, placed our sofa in the center of the composition. “Flat” details complement the picture of the interior, give it a feeling of comfort, but at the same time do not distract attention from the main thing. The advantage of abstract images is that they leave a lot of room for fantasy and imagination. After all, each person imagines his own interior.

Of course, it is not necessary to literally draw with a marker on a printed picture (although this is quite acceptable, it’s just not convenient for everyone). Any graphic editor allows you to achieve a similar effect.

7. Flowcharts

When there is a need to describe a process in a presentation, lists are often used. In rare cases, pictures are added to them. But a list of 5 or more items is already perceived poorly by the viewer. What if there are more of them? Take the time to create a beautiful and visual flowchart that explains the process in detail. It will significantly save clients time and reduce the number of questions.
Thus, you can schematically depict the work of a workshop or department, the operating principle of a device, the process of interaction between departments, or, as in our case, the process of ordering a presentation in the Mikhail Tsarev Studio:

Be creative, look for new ideas and don’t be afraid to surprise!
P.S. All data and statistics used in the examples are fictitious, and any similarities are random 😉

Do-it-yourself interactive game “Find 10 differences” in PowerPoint

Elmira Rafailovna Murzakaeva, teacher of MAOU “Gymnasium No. 1” Republic of Bashkortostan, Sterlitamak city
Description: I present to you a master class on creating interactive game"Find 10 differences" in PowerPoint. This material will be useful for teachers primary school, preschool education, additional education teachers, pedagogical students educational institutions. Tasks of this kind can be used to develop concentration and perseverance, and the interactive version will make it more interesting, unusual and exciting for children. This task can be performed either individually at the computer or in a group at the interactive whiteboard.
Target: creating an interactive game “Find 10 differences” in PowerPoint
Task:
- become familiar with the technique of creating an interactive game “Find 10 differences” in PowerPoint.

Work progress:

1.Create a new presentation. On the first slide we write the name of our game “Find 10 differences”. To do this, in the “Insert” section, select the WordArt command.

2. We look for a suitable picture on the Internet, save it in a pre-created folder for our pictures. We insert it into the presentation on slide 2. We copy it and paste it so that next to us there are pictures of the same size. It is better to choose landscape orientation pictures and create a folder where you will save the scenes you like.

3.On the first slide insert the text “START GAME”. When you click on the text, the “Format” section appears, where we select the sample we like, so that the inscription looks like a button. Choosing a design.

4.Now we need to make our button work; to do this we need to put a hyperlink on it. Right-click on the text and select Hyperlink from the menu that appears.”

5.The “Insert hyperlink” window appears, select the “Place in document” section and make a hyperlink to slide 2, where our task will be located. Now, when viewing a presentation, our button will take us directly to the task itself.

6. We begin to work directly on the task itself. We insert any autoshape under our pictures and copy it 10 times. We number our figures, in my case an asterisk, from 1 to 10, for this we use the “Inscription” function (section “Insert”).

7. Now the hardest part begins - you will need to create differences in the pictures. On the Internet we look for pictures that fit the plot, with a transparent background, or we remove the background in Photoshop. We save the drawings we like in a folder.

8. Insert our drawing into the presentation. We reduce the size and make the object more invisible.

9. Now we need to make sure that when you click on a difference, it will be highlighted. To do this, we set up animation. Click on the object (in this case the bird) and add the SELECTION – RESIZE animation.

10. After we have set the “Selection” animation, go to the animation area, there on our object with the right mouse button we call up the menu – TIME – SWITCHES – START EFFECT WHEN CLICKING – AND THERE SELECT THE SAME OBJECT ON WHICH WE PUT THE ANIMATION (IN IN OUR CASE PICTURE 10).

11. Next, so that we don’t get confused about how many differences were found, we need to make sure that after each click on the differences, asterisks appear. To do this we need to put animation. Select an object (in our case, an asterisk) and add an entrance animation (any one you like).

12. In the animation area for our star, select in the settings – RUN AFTER PREVIOUS. We change the ORDER of the animation, put the star after the drawing, to do this you need to select the star animation and drag it DOWN using the ARROW at the bottom of the animation area.

13. Instead of pictures, you can insert text or shapes. For example, let's make a bracelet for a monkey. To do this, insert the ARC figure. In the format section we select the thickness and color. We set up the animation as described above.

14. After all 10 differences have been made, create a new slide. On it we can do another task, or we can simply write “WELL DONE.” Let's insert a button on the second slide the same as on the first, just write "END GAME". We display the hyperlink in the document on slide 3.

Our game is all ready! Of course, the work is painstaking, but I am sure that the children will thank you for it!

The proposed demo version of the map can easily be used for an interactive whiteboard with proper configuration. So, let's start creating an interactive map. Step one. Insert the main card. In this case, a map of Russia. more Attention! For an interactive map, it is more advisable to configure not an object, but an entire slide. Step two. In the slide changer we find the “rectangle out” mode. With it, the effect of changing cards is most rational. In the “slide change” we also uncheck the “click” and “automatic” modes. Step three. Now we need to create hyperlinks. They will be selected objects - this or that region, even a populated area. In our specific case, we will highlight the Krasnodar Territory and Karelia. We highlight them with a polyline. We get objects that will later become hyperlinks. Pay attention! A solid fill is required so that the hyperlink appears not only along the outline, but throughout the entire object. We adjust the format of the resulting image to 100% transparency. Step four.

If necessary, we can continue to deepen the content, that is, move from a map of the region to a map of the city (settlement). From here - to individual objects. Step six. Don’t forget to place “return buttons” on all maps, both on the main map and on the map, then, for example, the region. So what do we get? We point at the necessary objects. In this case, to Karelia or Krasnodar region. Don’t forget to set the arrow mode to “visible” so that you can move to other slides quickly. The hyperlink to the locality is made with a transparent Pavlovsk rectangle. In fact, it is not visible. In our case, this is Krasnodar. We point at the name of the city... Map of the Russian Federation The hyperlink to the locality is made into a transparent rectangle. In fact, it is not visible. In our case, this is Petrozavodsk. We point to the name of the city... Map of the Russian Federation So, we have two “return buttons” of different levels: one – the Russian Federation, the other to the region Map of the Russian Federation Map of Karelia View of Krasnodar from space So, we have two “return buttons” of different levels: one – the Russian Federation, another for the region Map of the Russian Federation Map of the Krasnodar Territory Materials from the following sites were used in the development: http://www.south.ru/yug.htm http://vip.karelia.ru/viewtopic.php?t=37372&posto rder=asc&start=650& http://mapsshop.ru/product_117.html
