Get creative with google slides and animation

Google animations are a great way to engage students with their learning and will easily give them another way to show their understanding.  Here are some ideas where you could include animations in your lessons;

• To show a cycle or process
• Retell a story 
• Re-enact a historical event
• Demonstrate a scientific concept or experiment
• Explain how to solve a math problem
• Show their understanding of Geometry 
• Define a vocabulary term 
• Create a visual journey of a trip
• Create a timeline

There's always a bit of fun to be had when making animations.  Using google slides, duplicate the first slide, move the objects a little and repeat this process until you have at least 10 - 15 slides.  The car animation below has 35 slides.  The more slides you have the more you can adjust your timing and your animation will run smoothly.  The final trick is publishing the slides to the web.  Choose the embed code if you want to post your animation on your blog, select small so it will fit nicely in your blog post and adjust the timing of your animation to make it run faster.
