How to Record Voice Narration for Your PowerPoint 2016 Presentation - dummies

How to Record Voice Narration for Your PowerPoint 2016 Presentation - dummies | Top Social Media Tools | Scoop.it

AA voice narration in a PowerPoint 2016 presentation is sophisticated indeed. A self-playing, kiosk-style presentation can be accompanied by a human voice such that the narrator gives the presentation without actually being there.

To narrate a presentation, a working microphone must be attached or built in to your computer. You record the narration for slides one slide at a time or all at one time, and the recording is stored in the PowerPoint file, not in a separate audio file.

The best way to record voice narrations is to do it on a slide-by-slide basis. You can record across several slides, but getting your voice narration and slides to be in sync with one another can be a lot of trouble....

Here's a very useful tip for recording voice narrations that will help your PowerPoint presentations come alive.

It is no more just about PowerPoint...

This is pretty much an ad for emaze, but it's good to know what is available commercially in terms of presentations.

Ness Crouch's curator insight, April 5, 2015 12:59 AM

Interesting list. Worth checking out some of these tools to see if I like them better than Prezi :)

19 presentation tools to make your next pitch beautiful

19 presentation tools to make your next pitch beautiful | Top Social Media Tools | Scoop.it

Powerpoint, Keynote, Haiku Deck if you’re feeling saucy… when it comes to presentations and pitching it often feels as though you’re limited to a few safe choices, meaning that it’s a struggle to engage your audience at conferences or in the board room.


But it doesn’t have to be that way. Even good old Powerpoint can be beautiful, but there’s plenty of other choices out there that will let you sear some eyeballs in your next meeting. I’ve put together some of the most interesting options here....

Jeff Domansky's insight:

19 presentation tools? Who knew? Because pitching doesn't have to be all about Powerpoint. Check this list of tools and you may find several that you never knew about. Recommended viewing.  9/10

Free Technology for Teachers: Best of 2013 So Far...76 Ways to Use Haiku Deck

Free Technology for Teachers: Best of 2013 So Far...76 Ways to Use Haiku Deck | Top Social Media Tools | Scoop.it

Haiku Deck's Education Case Studies Pinterest board contains 76 examples of Haiku Deck being used by students and teachers. If you're not familiar with it or haven't tried Haiku Deck, here's what you need to know. It's a free iPad app for creating slideshow presentations.


There are two features of Haiku Deck that stand out. First, Haiku Deck intentionally limits how much text that you can put on each of your slides. Second, Haiku Deck helps you find Creative Commons licensed images for your presentations. When you type a word or words on your slides you can have Haiku Deck search for images for you. The images that Haiku Deck serves up are large enough to completely fill your slide. You can also upload your own images from your iPad or import images from Instagram and Facebook....

Haiku Deck is an outstanding presentation tool. Unfortunately it's only available for the iPad. Click here and suggest your preferred platform. I can't wait for it to be available for Windows or Android. Meanwhile, check out their stunning 76 education presentations on Pinterest or Haiku Deck's Pinterest board of best presentations. Highly recommended!

Teachers need more access to technology in the classroom and more support developing technology-based lessons and integrating it into the classroom.

This is a neat start. 

Jennifer Kleiner's curator insight, March 16, 2015 9:07 PM

This page links to Haiku Deck's pinterest board where there are over 300 examples of how Haiku Deck is being used in education. I love that Haiku Deck makes following best practices for presentations easy through word limits and styling and aggregating photos that meet Creative Commons guidelines. These examples provide a lot of ideas for use in K-12 and higher education.
