Produced by Dave Foord

Countdown Timers• The following slides contain a series of ‘timers’ that can be used in PowerPoint 2003, they may
also work in earlier versions of PowerPoint.• To see the timers in action, click the mouse to move forward a slide, then click again to start
timer. Clicking again will forward the timer to the end of its sequence.• The idea behind this, is one way to make a PowerPoint presentation to a large audience, slightly
more interactive, is to set the students a question, activity, calculation etc. If appropriate a timer can be introduced, to ‘time’ how long is available for them to complete the activity.
• There are timers for 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes and 20 minutes.
• To use a timer, all you need to do is enter the editing mode of PowerPoint - copy desired timer into your presentation, each timer is made up of many components, so when copying – you need to use the mouse to select all the components to do this – click and hold the mouse, top left of the timer, then whilst holding mouse button down, drag the mouse to bottom right of timer and release – everything within the region should be selected. You can now ‘copy’ – go into your presentation and paste.
• Timers can be resized, or formatted – just make sure you highlight all of the items at the same time (by using same method as above).
• The timers are preset to start on the click of the mouse, this could be changed to start automatically on going to that slide, or on the click of a button. You would need to change the custom animation settings for this.
• There is a sound effect at the end of each timer – this is the ‘Laser’ sound effect within PowerPoint – this could easily be removed or replaced with your own sound effect.
