How to Make an Interactive Drag & Drop Worksheet (sorting activity)

[@suzannelefrancois3197]

This was super helpful. More tips for resizing images: Copy the size that you like and then right click in the copied image and select replace image. The new image will be sized correctly.

I'm trying to learn how to take the powerpoint(which already has click and drag elements) and have students be able to manipulate it while I watch. Its for an assessment so I have to be able to view but I want them to have control of the choice making/clicking and dragging. I've looked up Jamboard and Nearpod but no luck.

[@scanaday8]

will the images still be re-sizable by the students, when they view the worksheet? And will they have all of the editing menus around the outside? Or will they just have the sheet it's self, and the images are movable, but the little blue boxes around the outside of the image do not show up?

[@rossymarrufo8746]

Awesome. Thank you, I really want to make some specifically for my class.

[@natalieotimmons]

I don't have google classroom, but I have tried to make a sorting activity before using google slides and then sharing the link with students. But I ran into the issue that kids will double click on what they want to move and either make it disappear or resize the picture they are moving. Do you have any advice how to work around this?

[@carolyneagle3255]

Hi, this was great. Is there a way to "activate" something so if the students puts the item in the wrong column - it alerts the student? I apologize if the question doesn't even make sense. Thank you

[@EZEdTech]

No, you can't do. It would be great though!

[@charlottewatson5926]

Sorry for my ignorance but what software is this? I don't recognise it. Also, how did you video yourself? Which programme did you use?

[@EZEdTech]

It is Google slides. Sorry should have mentioned that! I used screencastomatic to record it.

[@krisreese7721]

Thank you! Very easy to do now that I know how :)

[@singthepiano391935]

This may sound dumb... so once they’ve sorted they just hit share and it’ll share back to me? Could I grade it if I wanted to? Can’t they go back in and move stuff around after they’ve turned it in though?

[@EZEdTech]

Ashley Shelton it depends on how you assign it. If you use google classroom and they turn it in there, they cannot make any changes after they submit it. You grade it and return it. If they just share it back with you then they can make any changes that they want. You could always check the version history to see if changes were made after it was submitted. I just made a new video about drag and drop activities kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWW4XmuOad9-e9U

[@singthepiano391935]

EZ EdTech! That’s exactly how I’ll use it. that is super good to know!! Thank you so much for the response!

[@EZEdTech]

Ashley Shelton no problem! Just make sure to make a copy for each student in GC!

[@singthepiano391935]

EZ EdTech! The make a copy for every student isn’t showing an option on mine. Only “student can edit file” or “student can view file is on there” 😭

[@EZEdTech]

Ashley Shelton are you creating a new assignment? Watch the new tutorial I linked above. That one shows exactly how to assign this kind of activity in GC.

[@reyisaguirre6407]

Thank you so much for sharing! I was wondering if you could share how you get your cursor/pointer to behave that way? Is it an app? Thank you

[@EZEdTech]

I record in screencastomatic. It does that automatically.

[@bethrietz7578]

Great Video Thanks! Is it possible when zooming with a small group to have the activity on the teacher's screen and the students can drag and drop using their screens? As a total group activity.

[@EZEdTech]

I don't think so

[@MsHuyenAVchannel]

You can do that, when you teach via Zoom, u can make students move the objects themselves. you can try watching this one. You can move objects/ pics/ texts in Slideshow mode in PowerPoint kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2jKn6CIrdOnm6M
