For this weeks demo, I challenge you to compete in an old-fashioned 1912 spelling bee. Will you make your graduating class proud?

After collecting assets for the challenge (photo of a 1912 graduating class, a suitable bee or two, and a hit song from 1912), I began to piece together the quiz.
(I have now attributed all of these on the last slide)
Using storyline's built-in functionality I built the slide master and the quiz masters slides. I later remembered to change the fonts in design mode so that all of the slides look uniform.
I used all of the words from the article but had the system do a random draw of 15 each time it is run using storyline's functionality as well.
I learned that I could add animation to the master slides which saved a lot of repetitive work. I used text to speech to build out my individual quiz slides with a simple copy and paste. I kept the vocabulary words on each slide until I had created each of the text to speech words, and sentences.
I had fun building this out but it kept me up until 2 AM. :)

This is great. Love the options of slowing down and adding context to the word and also choosing and naming a character.
- Thank you. Trying to get the text-to-speech to say the words slower can be a challenge. I added multiple dashes between the syllables but also had fiddle around with each part of the word to get it to sound approximately right.
- As Cheryl has mentioned, the slowing down is cool. I didn't know that you can add pauses in between by adding syllables. Thanks for that.
