Creating with HELLOSLIDE

HELLOSLIDE is a site I heard about very recently and was meaning to try out. The site allows you to add voice to your presentations, but NOT YOUR VOICE. What you do is: you upload your presentation in PDF, type the text which you would like to hear with each slide, save and play. It's as simple as that. The good thing is that you don't need to worry about your voice or recording, you can edit it later if you need to, and then easily share it by grabbing the URL or the embed code.

This was my first trial:


I've also made a tutorial if you need help.

HOW CAN WE USE IT WITH STUDENTS?

  • You can use the site to prepare presentations of lesson topics using ppts you already have . Then all you'd need to do is to save it as pdf and then upload it to the site.
  • You can create stories introducing vocabulary.
  • You can have students create their own stories and then present it in class.
