Technology How To

The Insert Object menu on the TurningPoint tab allows you to add several things to your TurningPoint slides. Before inserting any of the objects from this menu, go ahead and have your question and answers set on the slide. All of these objects are moveable once inserted so you can arrange you slides as you wish.

1. Charts: This allows you to change the type of chart you have inserted in your slide.
2. Answer Now: This is a box (you have a choice of many different shapes) that says “Answer Now” that comes on the screen when polling is open and disappears when it is closed either through a countdown timer or clicking to see the results.
3. Countdown: This will put a graphical element (lots of choices) and numbers on the screen to count down time for your students to answer. To change the time, insert the timer and then click on the number and it will prompt you to enter a number from 1-999. NOTE: You must click two times on the slides to first bring up the polling and then the counter.
4. Response Counter: will put a graphical element that will show how many people have answered your question.
5. Response Table: this puts a table on your screen that will indicate as responses are made. You will see the number of squares per number of response devices you have configured.
6. Correct answer Indicator: Before inserting this object, select the correct answer from the menu that appears on the side of the slide. Then, select the graphical element you want from the Correct Answer Option in the Objects menu. This icon will appear when you click your mouse AFTER the results are shown.
