PPT to Slideshare to Blogger

A teacher asked about posting multiple pictures to her blog. I suggested she create a Photo Album with her pictures in PowerPoint, then upload the PPT to Slideshare.net, and finally embed the Slideshare presentation in her Blogger blog. This short video will show you how.

CPS for PPT

I was finally upgraded to PowerPoint 2003 last week. This is a significant upgrade because the Classroom Performance System (CPS) "clickers" from eInstruction have software that works with PowerPoint 2003 (and 2007).

You actually compose your questions within PowerPoint using a special CPS toolbar. After engaging your question with the clickers, you'll see a screen like the one shown here.

This is a nice upgrade from the typical CPS screen which is pretty basic, even boring looking.

You can download the CPS for PowerPoint software from the eInstruction download page: http://einstruction.com/Downloads/index.cfm

And remember, you can only use this version of the software in conjunction with PowerPoint. If you want to use the regular CPS software you'll need to have it installed on your computer also, it's not replaced by the PPT version (so don't uninstall it like I did!)

Beta testers wanted...

... to test drive my Moodle course: "23 Things Teachers Should Know About Web 2.0"
If you're interested, leave a comment with your email address. I won't publish the comment, but I'll get your email address and send you the URL and enrollment key.

Thanks for your help. The course goes "live" for 2.0 SB-CEUs on November 3. I need help testing it out on multiple browsers, OS, etc.

This site has been needed for a LONG time!

Print what you like! Why print all of a web page when you only want part of a web page. And I've tried the print "selection" thing before and it doesn't work in certain situations either.

Here's what you can do:

• Make Any Page Printer-Friendly
• Edit any public page in your browser - no installation required!
• Change page font size and type, remove the background, and remove images
• Edit any part of the page by clicking a page element or selecting text
• Any selection can be removed, isolated or widened
• All changes are undoable
• Combine multiple webpages together - edit and print them as one document!
• Save your changes - if you have to print the same document again, just reapply your changes instead of starting over
• Reuse other people's changes - if someone else has already edited your page, just apply their changes

This site is a MUST SEE! Play around with their homepage to see how it works.
