Informative Tool

 -concept on informative tools

An Informative tool encompasses applications that offer extensive collections of information or content to learners. This type of tool can encompass a wide array of information presented in various formats such as text, graphics, audio, images, and videos. Examples of Informative tools include text-based resources like
books and articles, visual aids such as maps and charts, interactive platforms like websites and virtual reality (VR), digital resources including social media and mobile apps, as well as reference materials like encyclopedias and dictionaries.

 Step-by-Step Guide to Create Circuit Animation in PowerPoint

 1. Plan Your Animation

-Define Objectives: Decide what aspect of circuits (simple, series, parallel) you want to explain.

- Storyboard: Sketch out the slides, noting the components (battery, wires, switch, light bulb) and their animations.

 2. Open PowerPoint and Create Slides

- Title Slide: Create a title slide with the presentation's title and your name.

- Insert Components:

  - Battery: Insert a rectangle and label it.

  - Wires: Use lines for connections.

  - Switch: Insert a rectangle and a line for open/closed states.

  - Light Bulb: Use an oval shape or an icon.

3. Add Animations

- Select Component: Click on a component to animate.

- Add Entrance Effects: Go to "Animations" > "Add Animation" > "Appear" for components.

- Add Motion Paths: Show electricity flow by selecting "Lines" under motion paths.

- Timing:  Adjust the order and duration in the "Animation Pane".

 4. Sequence the Animation

- Order Animations: Use the "Animation Pane" to set the correct sequence.

- Preview: Click "Preview" to check the animation flow.

 5. Finalize and Save

- Review: Ensure all animations work smoothly.

- Save Presentation: Save as a PowerPoint file (.pptx).

- Optional - Export as Video:** Go to "File" > "Export" > "Create a Video".
