Inserting videos is a little complex but a wonderful tool for both teaching assistant presentations and student based webquests.You can insert a link to a web video – do this using your hyperlink option.You can also insert the video straight into your presentation!You are still using the Insert tab for this. At the far right of the Ribbon you will see the group Media Clips.* If you insert a video into your presentation you have to make sure you have the video saved on your computer/flash drive first.Inserting Videos

- 28. A fun new tool with ‘07 PowerPoint!! I LOVE it! In the past when you wanted to narrate your presentation you had to record your voice through another program and then insert the sound. Microsoft has made it so easy now!On the Slide Show Tab you will see a group called Set Up. To narrate your presentation – chose Record Narration.* You will need a microphone to do this. Some computers have a built in microphone – or you will need one that is plugged into your computer!Adding Voice
- 29. This option will only be used if you want your presentation to advance on it’s own – without your help. This is good just for previewing. I don’t recommend using this when developing a teaching assistant tool or even a student webquest.You will be on the Slide Show Tab – chose Rehearse timings, etc. Just follow the steps given.Timing your presentation
- 30. The basics of PowerPoint are at your fingertips. Now – when will you use it?PowerPoint can be an awesome teaching assistant. Create a PowerPoint to bullet important parts of a lesson. You can make that available to your students on your school website or by printing. A good note taking tool. It can save you from having to write notes on the board and having some say they can’t read your writing!
