Create and Distribute a Class PowerPoint Presentation (II)


Creating a good PowerPoint presentation is the first step. Remember to practice over and over your class PowerPoint presentation until to a perfect extent. The next thing is distribution of the class presentation. How to distribute it depends on several factors, where the class PowerPoint presentation is made, where it is going to display, and how many students or classmates will attend to your class, etc.


I have mentioned in my previous post (Section I) how to make a fine class PowerPoint presentation, now I am to share with you how to distribute a PowerPoint masterpiece in the following Section II.


PowerPoint distribution tips Section II: Distribute a Sound Class PowerPoint Presentation


1. Save your class PowerPoint file on the same computer
If your class presentation is created at and is to be distributed with the same computer (usu. your laptop), then simply leave it there. But by this method, you may run on certain risks of the vulnerable PowerPoint - computer corruption, Internet disconnection, and virus attacks. Many people do that, however, it is not recommended, especially when your class PowerPoint presentation is of critical importance.


2. Simply e-mail your class PowerPoint file
It is a PowerPoint presentation of homework, and you are required to email to your teacher's account for review. In that case, simply e-mail the presentation.


Note -



  • Don't email a class presentation unless you are sure that the recipient use the same OS (don't email from a PC to a Mac), the same version or later of PowerPoint program. Some people don't have MS PowerPoint installed on their computers, nor do they have a proper PowerPoint Viewer to read your class presentation.

  • Don't forget to include the whole PowerPoint components (the presentation itself, the sound file, the video file if there is any) in the same folder before zipping it to email. Otherwise, the sounds or video clips embedded in your class presentation will not play on the recipient's computer.

  • And don't email your class PowerPoint presentation if you are afraid of unwanted modification by others.

Put PowerPoint presentation to the iPod


I don't mean a simple patchwork of slide images onto iPod. Rather, what I mean is to put a whole PowerPoint slideshow to the iPod, without any loss of dynamic animations or recorded narrations.


Expecting your presentation to go on as sleek as a movie on the iPod, you can choose to convert PowerPoint to an iPod ready video. MS PowerPoint has a set of Save As options, like HTML and PDF, yet it doesn't support a Save As iPod Movie function. Nevertheless, that doesn't matter, while you can take some standalone conversion apps like PowerPoint to iPod Movie. The PowerPoint to iPod converter is really a two-click option, never bothering you to those complicated yet vain techniques.


Here is the exact practice:


First, download a copy of PowerPoint to iPod Movie and install it on your computer.
Go to the download center of PowerPoint to iPod Movie, and pick a trial or a registered copy. It is recommended that you try the free demo to test its effect. If the program works well with your OS, then you can consider installing a full version on your PC.


Second, input one or more PPT file(s) that you would like to convert to iPod movie.
Click Add to import a PowerPoint file (PPT, PPS, PPTX, and PPSX) to the converter.


PowerPoint to iPod - import


Make sure the Style has been set to "iPod Movie".


output PowerPoint to iPod Movie


Finally, start converting after every essential is well set.
Customize the conversion parameters, e.g. watermarking the movie, adjusting video quality, inserting background music or your own narration, if it is necessary. Otherwise, simply click Start to begin the conversion.


When an iPod movie comes out, it's easy to hook it onto your own iPod. The sounds, animations, and your recorded voice narration can play as well on the iPod as you deliver the same PowerPoint presentation with a projector. Moreover, you can upload it to your blog or YouTube, making it quickly available to your friends and readers.


Apart from the above method I've mentioned, there are several other tips on putting PowerPoint presentation to iPod:

Smart Idea to Shut out PowerPoint Hackers


A dozen of holes set off a sweeping stir in millions of PowerPoint users on Tuesday, May 12. Hackers are seeking to attack users of MS PowerPoint. The critical attack affects a string of sister products like Microsoft Office 2000, 2003, 2007 and XP, as well as PowerPoint Viewer and Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 file formats. Despite 14 patches by Microsoft to plug the PowerPoint flaws that may allow remote control of a compromised PC, users may face potential threats from the existing 13 PowerPoint holes.


How do you keep yourself away from a hacker? Obviously, filing your big presentation in PowerPoint, a sort of great vulnerability, is never a wise choice. Following the after-wit of Microsoft security update is neither ideal. Suppose an attack to PowerPoint program that triggers the overall paralysis of your Office kit, even the entire operating system with a good collection of essentials. It must be a huge loss unless utterly prepared with a backup.


Then what is a viable workaround to prevent your presentation and PC from attacks? The crucial core is making a safe backup for every important presentation. The backup could be either an online video or a takeaway DVD, for both video and DVD are read-only formats that work efficient in preventing their data from corruption.

Plan 1 Burn PowerPoint presentation onto DVD as portable backup


Burning a presentation, especially a presentation of importance, onto a DVD disc is a top practice of protection. When your presentation is burned to DVD with a burning expert like PowerPoint to DVD Burner, it is not only safer, but also more professional in look, more extensive in use. As a presentation is saved in standalone DVD, it will never be afraid of a PowerPoint hacker. Besides, you can take a DVD presentation to any computer regardless of the installation of PowerPoint, and play your presentation like a professional movie on a DVD player.


Simple steps of burning:


Sort out one or more PowerPoint files as concerned, and input into the PowerPoint to DVD burner. Of course, you can also add your favorite music, insert a logo of your identity, or custom DVD menus using the burning software. Once OK with all, click Start to leave the burner the entire burning task. In a minute or two, a staggering slideshow in organized DVD will appear at your sight.

Plan 2 Save PowerPoint presentation to video as online backup


If you prefer an online option, then you can save your presentation to video that can probably be published on the Web. Take the all-in-one PowerPoint to Video Converter, or simply the specific PowerPoint to FLV Converter, to energize your PowerPoint presentation on a blog, a Podcast, YouTube and MySpace in form of FLV.


While finalized in flash video, your presentation can withstand any attack from a PowerPoint hacker. Another beneficial plus is that it is helpful to bring a web stance of your presentation in popular FLV.


A Quick Look at Converting:


Similar to the burning in Plan 1, all you have to do is done in 3 clicks with the PowerPoint to video converter- import the specified presentation(s), set the output video options, and click Convert to start the conversion process. Get yourself a cup of coffee.


Related how-to guide, see in Tutorial of converting PowerPoint to video


After the completion of converting, you can upload the video presentation to any supported Web destination.


To be concluded, keep in mind the importance of backing your PowerPoint presentations up, either in protective DVD or Web video, to shut out dangerous hackers and safeguard your PC stuff.

Safe Teaching over Swine Flu: E-learning with Video Slideshow


Despite an official denial of affection on teaching, the ongoing expansion of influenza A (H1N1), nicknamed swine flu, is bringing a new campaign of school closing in some states of the most affected countries. According to the latest report from Teaching Life Today, up to 300 schools with nearly 170,000 students have been shut in USA due to this serious epidemic.


The swine flu does pose a challenge to the traditional way of teaching in school. Fear grows as more cases of H1N1 swine flu are published. Populated public organizations like schools, stores and clubs, now are assumed as a terrifying threat to most people in the suspected regions. On the contrary, home turns to be the safest escape for everyone. When being dismissed from school, shall our children subside their lessons? The answer is NO. They can continue their courses at home as well via the almighty Internet. That is what we have called "e-learning".


E-learning in swine flu H1N1 E-learning during Swine Flu Epidemic


E-learning is a welcome during the separation period. In this teaching and learning method, teachers and students get interactive via online activities. Needless to worry about the distance, both a teacher and a student can use MS PowerPoint to teach and learn. Teachers employ the authoring tool to deliver a lesson while students take it to compose their homework. However, due to the inborn deficiency of PowerPoint in Internet delivery, there may be a problem of uploading the presentation stuff to the Web. As to the case, we can switch the spiny PowerPoint to video, a friendly format to the Web. In other words, transfer a course presentation into a video slideshow.


The video slideshow should contain every component of the course presentation, e.g. animations, graphics, transitions, background sounds, video clips, etc. A sound bridge between PowerPoint and video is PowerPoint to Video converter which displays a power to convert PowerPoint to any popular video in a click. Simply get the teaching PPT file into the software, and then it will output a sharp video slideshow in a minute.


Next, put the video slideshow of course content onto YouTube and invite the teacher or student(s) as concerned to share, email the video presentation to the designator, or publish on some available Homepages or blogs for group discussion.


On days of swine flu plague, it is never impossible to continue teaching and learning. Try the easy e-learning with the best of PowerPoint and video. Get more about PowerPoint to YouTube Video at http://www.dvd-ppt-slideshow.com/blog/

Sound in PowerPoint Strikes on another Computer


The sound problem is one that frequently vexes PowerPoint presenters. Your PowerPoint presentation with a sound plays well on your home or office computer. However, when you move it to the spotlight, usu. a different computer from yours, the sound seems missing. So where has it gone?


sound in PowerPoint.gif Insert a sound into PowerPoint


Four possible situations should be the chief culprits of the problem.



  • 1. There is no copy of the sound file on the target computer. That is, you saved the PowerPoint presentation alone on a USB stick or CD, but forgot to package the source of its media clips including the sound. The sound object in the PowerPoint will not work on a different place unless being located in the same folder with the presentation.
    Remember - When moving a PowerPoint presentation to a different computer, keep a complete copy of the presentation along with the sound file and other effects, and locate the complete folder to the target computer for presenting.

  • 2. The target computer of your presentation has a different OS or an earlier version of PowerPoint from the source one. If you create a presentation on Windows, there may be a hinder to play on a Mac. Or suppose the two Operating systems are the same, still you may face the sound problem of playing a 2007 PowerPoint presentation on a 2003 version; for some functions in a PowerPoint 2007 file are not supported by earlier versions.
    Tips - Cross-platform puzzle is a hot potato that requires a great command of PowerPoint techniques. If you don't want bother yourself with such complicated skills, you can try some easy alternatives. To ward off the issue straight ford, a once-and-for-all cut is to convert and save your PowerPoint presentation to DVD with PowerPoint to DVD and video converter. Your presentation in DVD can travel safe without a worry of sound loss, and play in full on any target platform.

  • 3. The sound file is a linked one rather than embedded into the presentation. You simply inserted the sound file (usu. an audio format other than WAV, the only one accepted by PowerPoint) from Internet, and forgot to take the source with the presentation to the target computer. The linking-to-PowerPoint practice always triggers a strike of the sound on another computer, as the sound source is separate from the presentation. Seems back to Situation 1.
    Note that you have packaged all the effects for the presentation in the same folder and place the entire folder to the target computer.

  • 4. The embedded sound file in WAV is too large to work on the target computer. Although the sound file in WAV, the only audio format that allows embedding into a PowerPoint presentation, goes with your presentation to the destination computer, it may fail to play well there due to the large size.
    Solution - Adjust the size of the sound file to an appropriate level. By default, a WAV file to embed in PowerPoint is 100 KB or less. Smaller size is preferable for a smooth play at any computer.
