SlideShare & Incompetech

SlideShare is a really easy to use tool with great benefits. I can see how using a tool like this can be used over and over again in my teaching career. Such as when delivering the same or very similar content to a class I would be able to upload my powerpoint presentation onto SlideShare and be able to use it again and again and add sound and music to the presentation to suit the age group.

Here is a very short powerpoint that i have put together and uploaded onto SlideShare. I also like how you have the option of making your powerpoint public or private. I am still trying to work out how to add audio to it though.

Imcompetech could be used to add a little twist to any powerpoint presentation. The clip I downloaded was African, full of the use of different instruments such as bongos. I could use this clip to accompany an introduction into African History for example. It could also be used in music classes for students to get a idea of different cultured music etc.

  1. Hi Amanda'
    I also had trouble adding sound to my power point. At first slideshare would not enable the aniamations so I changed to authorstream. This site allowed the animations but not the sound. I tried again with slideshare to create a slidecast but to no avail. I love the power point.
    Cheers Trish

  2. The sound has to be mp3 format. Then you go to slidecast and it offers the option to upload mp3. Upload your sound and then you have to fit it with the slides, so that what your saying is in time with what everyone sees.
