What it does:

Covers the screen with a blind which can be pulled up, down from the left or from the right to reveal what is on the board behind it.

Right click:

Allows you to change the colour of the blind through Setting.

What it can be used for:

Revealing a picture bit by bit for students to guess what is behind the blind. Revealing text line by line.

Watch out for:

If you plan to use this in class, click the Reveal tool on the page before the page you want to reveal. This way your students will not see what you are about to reveal before you want them to. Once the blind is on, move forward to the page you want to reveal using the Next Page button.
