I don’t know about many of you, but I felt a bit overwhelmed with the reading. It offered so many choices on different software and programs to use; but like anything else, trial & error!
Regarding images and copyright: woo! I never look to see if my images are copyrighted, I just place them into my documents. I will now search for “labeled for reuse” images.
I uploaded an existing PPt to slideshare. I downloaded audacity on to my computer and created an Mp3 to narrate my powerpoint. In order to get it into the Mp3 format, I had to download an additional piece of software called LAME or something like that 🙂 .
Next, I uploaded the Mp3 up to slideshare… it sure would be nice if slideshare had this feature (recording audio) embedded into the program…. Next came the task of syncing the audio with my ppt. Not as easy as it would appear… the sycronization workspace did not move along with me. Maybe it was my computer being slow, but I got frustrated real fast… I decided to post a help question on the Fb page to see if anybody else has had a similar issue. I went back to it after taking a break, and low & behold…. I figured it out 🙂 My Ppt did not upload nicely, the spacing is all off on it….not quite sure why. Maybe it has to do with the settings. Does anyone know why this would happen? See slideshow below:
This week has been fun… looking forward to next week 🙂

Thanks for your post this week. I enjoyed your Eyejot – the sound and video were clear – but I could not find the link to your slideshow. I think it would be difficult to synchronize the audio and video as you describe. When I create a Slidecast, I rehearse the presentation and record it “live”. This usually requires multiple recordings or “takes” to get it right. For shorter presentations, it is usually easier than trying to layer the voice track over the existing presentation.
Hello, Donna. I share your viewpoint on the reading. Absolutely, there are so many options out there. But like you said – trial and error. I am still stuck on trying to upload audio to my Slideshare. I am plugging on, nonetheless. And I am thankful that you wrote your process down; perhaps, it will be very helpful for me as I try to do what I can this weekend. Thanks, again.
