KNOVIO tutorial - add video + voice to your ppt presentation

Some weeks ago, I posted about KNOVIO, a tool which allows you to add a video narration to your ppt presentation. It's the simplest tool I've tried to make a slidecast. All you have to do is upload your ppt and start recording your video/narration.

It's a fantastic way to practice for presentations to come.
You can record yourself presenting and then watch it so that you can improve it.

It's also a great tool to record grammar and vocabulary explanations to students.
Another idea is to use the site for storytelling purposes. Students can narrate their stories.

This is how it looks:

This is how you can make your own:


The only thing missing is an embeddable player. (NOT ANYMORE, they provide an embed code)
However, I've been told they're working on one which will be launched  soon.
Anxious to use it more often. FANTASTIC TOOL.

How to turn your ppt into a webinar

Suppose you have created a ppt to use during a presentation. After presenting it, you would like to share it in your blog. Then, what you can do is record yourself presenting using a tool such as AUDACITY , upload your ppt at SLIDESHARE and then synchronize the sound with the slides.

It's a great exercise for anyone who would like to rehearse before a presentation.

This is a SLIDECAST I created after presenting at the Braz-tesol conference in 2008. After sharing it at twitter this last week Luiz Reikdal asked me how to do it.

This is a TUTORIAL showing how to do it. First, upload your ppt to slideshare, then go to MY UPLOADS, click EDIT below the presentation you would like to add an audio to, click CREATE SLIDECAST , add an mp3 audio previously recorded and synch it with your presentation.

Slides to start your classes

4 years ago, after reading a wonderful book called "Language Hungry" by Tim Murphey, I made this presentation with excerpts from the book in order to start my classes. Now, that we're close to the beginning of a new semester, I remembered how much I enjoyed them. This semester, I've decided to reuse them on the e-board. I'll try to welcome students into class with one of these slides on, let them observe, read ,think while I organize myself and greet others.

Hope you like them:

If you press the PLAY button you'll hear background music, however if you play the FORWARD button you'll see slides only.

The rain

I was having a look at slideshare to make a slidecast (pictures + sound) when I found this beautiful slidecast about the rain. It has been raining for days where I live and we end up complaining. It was great though to see the beauty of RAIN.
