Structuring Learning by Hiding Slides in PowerPoint
Hiding slides allows you to provide directions to students
n Create a title slide but do not hide it n On slide two, enter your directions for what is to appear on the student’s first slide n Go to Slide Show n Select Hide Slide n A small slash will appear on the number of the hidden slide n Insert a new blank slide 3 but do not hide it (no slash will appear)
n The student will follow the directions on slide two and enter information on the blank slide 3 n Repeat the process, giving directions and hiding the slide n Add a blank unhidden slide after each of your direction slides for the student to add information n Repeat until all directions are given on hidden slides followed by a blank unhidden slide n Save the presentation n Have students open the presentation and follow the directions, adding their content to the blank slides n When they run the show, your slides will not appear – just their content slides
