Introductionm56855faa1d19272b_1528450127855_0Introduction

Before the lesson students get the assignment to find information about how hyperlinks work.

At the beginning of the lesson, students answer the following questions:

1. What is a hyperlink?

2. What is it for?

3. Have you encountered any hyperlinks except for websites?

HyperlinkshyperlinksHyperlinks commonly called links are usually associated with websites. However, they can also be used in other electronic documents (text, graphics, presentations, video, animations, PDF). A reference to another place in the document is created (by the hyperlink the user is moved to the point indicated in the document) or to another document (in this case another document is opened).

Most action buttons work with the use of hyperlinks.

Procedurem56855faa1d19272b_1528446435040_0Procedure

The action buttonsaction buttonsaction buttons in the presentationpresentationpresentation are used to:
- navigate the presentation,
- launch another program located on the computer,
- open a document located on the computer,
- play a movie or sound,
- switch to another presentation,
- go to any website.

The predefined buttons can be found in the Shape gallery.

Using these action buttons allows you to go to:
- the previous slide,
- the next slide,
- the last slide,
- the first slide,
- the last slide displayed,
- the slide with a specific page number.m56855faa1d19272b_1527752263647_0Using these action buttons allows you to go to:

- the slide with a specific page number.

Creating action buttons.

[Illustration1]

On the 'Insert' tab in the 'Illustrations' group, click on 'Shapes', then in the 'Action buttons' field, click the shape of the button you want to add. Indicate the position on the slide where the button should be located.m56855faa1d19272b_1527752256679_0On the 'Insert' tab in the 'Illustrations' group, click on 'Shapes', then in the 'Action buttons' field, click the shape of the button you want to add. Indicate the position on the slide where the button should be located.

In the Action settings dialog box, select the action to be performed after clicking the button (clicking or hovering mouse pointer).

The most common action assigned to the button will be to define the hyperlink. (A separate lesson is devoted to the use of hyperlinkshyperlinkshyperlinks in presentationspresentationpresentations.)

Task 1

Prepare a presentation about endangered plants in your area. (Materials needed for the presentation can be prepared at home or found on the Internet during the lesson). Design the presentation control using action buttons.

After placing the action buttons on the slideslideslide, you can freely formatformatformat them: change the size, fill color, edge style and add effects to the button. (Students learned the way of formatting objects earlier in previous lessons).

Actions can be assigned not only to buttons, but also to other slide objects: texts, graphics, shapes, etc.

Task 2

In the previously prepared presentation, replace the standard action buttons with buttons created from the pictures. You can prepare the pictures yourself or search the Internet. Choose them so that they fit the layout of the presentation.

Lesson summarym56855faa1d19272b_1528450119332_0Lesson summary

The buttons in the entire presentation should have the same size, identical style and consistent, even distances between them. The most convenient way to prepare them is to create a master copy on one slide and paste them in the group to other slides.
