For this assignment, we were supposed to create an animated PowerPoint slide of any topic of our choosing. It required only good timing, animations, and transitions. You needed to apply everything you've learned in class to the PowerPoint to get a high grade, and the requirements are much less than those required for the science PowerPoint project, which was what I based this off of since I already had a PowerPoint slide of the science topic and could easily transfer it to another slide.
I chose this assignment because it was the only assignment ever given to us in Computers that we needed to upload. The other assignments are all done in class, so there is basically only one assignment you could choose from. However, this project was fun like the science project although the timing is quite difficult to get right. The animations took up most of the time, so I had to make each slide last long enough so you could read all the words. From this assignment I learned that animations and transitions can easily make the slideshow look better. Good timing is also important for a good slideshow, since you need to make sure the audience is able to read the slide before it moves on.
