Publishing+Slideshows+Online

With regards to the lesser prilosec aspect effects the possibilities are that your doctor has weighed up that the advantages to your health way outweigh the negatives therefore there extremely is nothing to fret regarding with it. It's very important that you continue to take the medication until the course is complete even if you have got these delicate prilosec facet effects unless they are doing not clear up or begin to get worse. **[|side effects prilosec]**toc I am going to focus on two different kinds of online slideshows on this page: photo slideshows and powerpoint type slideshows.

=Photo Slideshows=

There are many ways to 'jazz up' your photos to put on your wiki or blog. These tools are free and easy to use. All you need to do is upload your photos to a website and then take the html code that the site provides you with to use to embed in a blog or wiki. The video tutorial on this page shows you how I created the RockYou slideshow that is on the right side below. Normally it is a case of simply following the instructions on each site and is relatively straightforward.

[|RockYou]
This website provides you with extremely customisable photo slideshare options as well as other tools for your blog or wiki. You can add special effects such as glitter writing to you photos.

[|PhotoBucket]
There are many themed photo slideshows that you can create in PhotoBucket. Examples include seasonal themes such as Christmas and Fun themes such as kung fo. The themes set the backgrounds and frames for your photos. You can also add your photos to video stored on the website to make movies.

[|BubbleShare]
The slideshow of scrolling pictures below is one example of what can be created using BubbleShare. I was impressed with all the options I had for each photo in my albums. I could add sound to each one (which I did below though I'm not exactly super exciting!). To hear the sound for the photo, just position your mouse on top of the little speaker picture on each photo. You can also add speech bubbles and about 20 other objects. You can put a piece of video onto the photos as well. media type="custom" key="65262"

=Powerpoint Type Slideshows=

If children have worked hard on a powerpoint presentation in class, there are places where these can be uploaded so that you can share them with a wider audience. Some of these tools are basically online versions of Office and some allow you to create your powerpoint type displays using their online tools rather than just being able to upload from your computer. This may be what Mac schools (who are now no longer entitled to have Office on classroom computers) might look into as an alternative. Mac schools are getting iWorks instead of Microsoft Office which has an application called KeyNote which in my opinion is better than Powerpoint and you can save KeyNote files as Powerpoints so that you can use them with the following webtools.

[|SlideShare]
You can upload a powerpoint file from your computer to SlideShare and then use the code that the website provides you with to embed the presentation into a blog or wiki. Your audio and transitions will not work however. If you want the points on your slide to come up one at a time, one work around is to have a different slide where you add an extra point. it looks as if they are coming on with transitions but it is actually a different slide each time. I also found that if I used a different colour scheme for one slide, it reverted back to the design template I used during the rest of the powerpoint so it is best to have all slides the same.

[|AuthorStream]
The benefit of AuthorStream over SlideShare is that you can upload powerpoints with animations and sound (as long as the sound is set to autoplay in the background such as a narration) and these will work when you view the presentation online. It is also free to set up an account.

[|Zoho]
Zoho has a suite of online applications including online office options. It has an application called 'Zoho Show' which allows you to both upload exisiting powerpoints and create new ones online. Having spent quite a long time trying to make the slideshow below and having a few problems with it, it might pay to wait for this application to leave 'beta' (initial testing mode) before using it to create slideshows though I think it has a lot of promise. The other Zoho applications are very useful as well.

To Educate
I found a lot of useful SlideShares about how to use various technological tools. If you click on a presentation, it will take you to the SlideShare website and you will be able to see other presentations by the same author to the right side of the page. Some of these authors are prolific!

To Stimulate Thinking and Debate
This SlideShow won a competition on SlideShare about design. It has taken the content of another person's presentation and matches this to well designed images. Notice that there are no bullet points! media type="custom" key="64930"

=Your Turn!=

As part of this online conference, I challenge you to have a go at either creating a slideshow online or uploading a ready-made one and then embedding it in this wiki. You will notice that there is a wiki page on the left saying 'YourSpace 2 Try'. It would be fantastic if you could be a contributor to this space. Don't worry if you are not sure how to publish to a wiki. I have included instructions for how to do this on the 'How 2 Edit This Wiki' page. In this piece of publishing, you could say a little bit about yourself, what you want to gain from this conference, how you found the process of publishing online, and how you think you might use this technology to enhance teaching and learning. This is just a suggestion. If you have any other ideas, please go for it! Just remember to check you have permission if you put up video or photos of children.
