I never knew how to create the movable pieces in Drawing, thanks for sharing

[@sbajwa703]

I have learnt so much from you! I’m teaching secondary maths and have been given iPads. Brilliant! Thanks

[@BeardSquaredEdtech]

Thank you for your feedback and support 👍😁

[@robinboughen992]

[@geauxdoe1]

Thanks so much! One question…how do student reset the slide to the original? (To put your answers down at the bottom of the page again)

[@snesleywipessqueegeeservices]

An awesome tutorial! There are lots of bad ones out there. This rocks bruv! 🤘😎⚽

[@KatPBennett]

This is awesome! I am teaching adults, but I have the same need as every teacher now... how to create an interactive activity that they can do online. Thank you!

[@abdelhakmeddoc5568]

Simple, clean, innovative, Awesome .... (more positive adjectives) 😁

[@BeardSquaredEdtech]

Thank you for your support, love your positivity bro 😁👍

[@geauxdoe1]

Thank so much! One question…how do student reset your slide. (To put your answers at the bottom of the slide) Won’t the next student see all the answers in the correct space instead of at the bottom of the page?

[@BeardSquaredEdtech]

Make a copy for each student 👍

[@colleenbooth2648]

Is there any way to have slides open in presentation mode and still be able to move/ drag and drop the objects? I want to make the activity something done with the whole class, and have the slide as big as possible on the projection screen. This was a good video, it was simple and quick to show how to make the back ground and movable objects.

[@BeardSquaredEdtech]

No, it doesn't work in presentation mode. But you can still connect to your projector and adjust Zoom into your screen to show to your whole class. ☺

[@StellaFl]

Τhank you very much!

[@HS-gw3kj]

Great video. Can you leave an amazon wishlist in your bio on your next video of things that you need or like that would help make your videos. You make such great content for free I'm sure your fans would love this! We appreciats you sir!

[@BeardSquaredEdtech]

Thanks bro ☺

[@andygarcia3599]

is it possible to share this through zoom? and do it in real time with remote control?

[@BeardSquaredEdtech]

Hi Andy, Yes you can do that.

[@maxdoescatsim]

Wow

[@BeardSquaredEdtech]

Yippee 😊

[@Nelson_504]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. This is great IF your students are going to solve the worksheet on their computer or an iPad with a screen that is big enough to drag and drop the text boxes. My students only have small Android smart phones. It doesn't work well on small screens, not even zooming in. The Google Slides Android app is honestly AWFUL. I wanted to make it work, but it's not possible. :( Hopefully, my comment would save someone from the same frustration I got :( Anyway, thank you so much for the great video :)

[@BeardSquaredEdtech]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I'm sure it will help someone out. I'm curious, what did you end up using instead 🤔

[@Nelson_504]

@@BeardSquaredEdtech I'll have to redo everything on a Google survey/form. This made me reflect on all the efforts people in my country have put into making virtual education work. We have so much against us: Most of the population doesn't have access to internet, slow internet connection, inadequate devices, skyrocketing prices on tech stuff, a country ravaged by Covid with no large-scale vaccination any time soon. It's been challenging. 😔

[@BeardSquaredEdtech]

Sorry to hear about this Nelson. You're doing an amazing job, continue helping others 👍

[@lmwms1]

Nice video. My problem is when I the same steps but with typed letters the png image is super blurry. Any ideas?

[@BeardSquaredEdtech]

Use a larger text size before making the png.

[@michellegarcia5224]

Can you share this on Canvas?

[@Omama88]

Can you just type a bunch of numbers on Word and then screen shot them and add them to your Slide as images to drag and drop?

[@BeardSquaredEdtech]

Yes, that's a great idea 👍

[@scotthollandada]

Drag and drop functions work on iPad?
