I have been trying for a while to work out slide share and how to add audio to a slideshow but I was unsuccessful. I tried the different help sections and watching the tutorials but I think there must have been something wrong with my account as I don't have the icon to create a slidecast. The concept of slideshare would be easily done in Windows Movie Maker. There I could add all the slides and audio together to create the same effect. This could be used over the Internet for on the school Wiki as part of homework. Or if a child was away and needed to catch up they could watch the slideshow at home. The slideshow could be edited and reused many times.
I don't think I would use slideshare as a regular tool as it wasn't user friendly and I could create the same sort of thing with Windows Movie Maker and post to YouTube. I appreciate that it may be a technical problem related only to my account and therefore others may have had no issues with it. I think it's great that my lecture was able to show us all these different tools as I didn't know half of them existed, let alone thought how I could implement them into classroom lessons.
p.s If anyone had the same problem or knows how to fix it, please comment and let me know.
Thanks.

Hi Miriam,
ReplyDeleteI also had some difficulties with SlideShare, however mine were only from not being able to record audio to my dodge old compter! I agree that moviemaker would be a great alternative option as well. If you are going to upload it to YouTube though Keep in mind that most schools are run off one server. This is Important as once Youtube is accessed it automatically slows the server right down. I know with the school I'm with at the moment Youtube is band on all computers because of this reason. Just thought I would give you the heads up. Sorry I'm not sure I can help with your other problem.
Thanks
Thanks Katie,
ReplyDeleteI hadn't thought about YouTube being banned. Upon reflection, I realised that Slideshare is probably the easiest option for putting slideshows on the internet. If I can work out how to add audio that would be great.
Hi Miriam, I am trying to create a Slideshare as well and I am also unsuccessful. I am not sure why it does not work. I couldn't find a program on my computer either for recording voice. I am glad you had the same problems and it wasn't just me! If you figure it out, could you please let me know? And I will do that same!
