Powerpoint & Slideshare Slideshows

Below is a link to an excellent site for learning PowerPoint - good for both teachers and learners:

POWERPOINT TUTORIAL

Check out this simple SlideShare Presentation:
Fruit
View more presentations from Crok.



This was created in Powerpoint, published on Slideshare and embedded into the blog. This way you can make attractive slideshows. some ideas are:

  • TEACHER BLOG: Create a photo-story with your digital camera, make a Powerpoint, upload to Slideshare and display it on the blog. (This could include a record of a field trip or school concert, a display of children´s drawings, a seasonal project etc)
  • LEARNER BLOG: Take photos to represent a story, write captions in Powerpoint and upload it to Slideshare. (You could also use internet photos and create topic-based projects: "My favourite things" - "Animals" - "Dinosaurs" - "Space" etc)
  • VOCABULARY: Powerpoint can make attractive flashcards using your photos or photos from the web. A flashcard slideshow can help your learners to revise the words.
  • SIMPLE AUDIO-VISUAL STORIES: Slideshare allows you to narrate your Powerpoint, so you can add an extra dimension to your slideshow presentation with audio narration.
  • REMEMBER: Many presentations already available on Slideshare are shared publically, so you can search the site and embed work of interest by other contributors.
