I ran into a few complications when creating my presentation. After I had finished selecting what I felt to be the most appropriate images, when I uploaded my presentation to Slidebloom I got a message on several of the slides saying I needed Quicktime and a decompression file. The images were working fine on my original file but just wouldn't work in Slidebloom. I had to choose about 3 more images that weren't quite as effective but still get the job done.
This version of the powerpoint is far more effective than the original version simply because words were needed to describe the images at the same time. The two work together so that the audience can better understand the content of the presentation.
Slidebloom is a great way for students to share and critique each other's work. It is a place where students can store their work and teachers and students alike can view the work and make comments to help improve their presentations.
I have to say that embedding narration wasn't as easy as I had hoped. I originally started on a Mac and thought all was going well until I reached my final slide. For some reason, I couldn't record my narration completely without it getting cut off. After a little research, I discovered this is a common unsolved issue with Microsoft Powerpoint on Mac's. I then had to rush to Walmart to purchase a microphone for my PC and transfer the file to my PC. I ended up having to re-record each slide, but FINALLY finished the process. YAY! Aside from the minor complications, I think this experience made me more aware of how fast I speak. I honestly don't know how my students manage to keep up with me, but they do!! This is definitely going to come in handy when or if I have a substitute teacher. It will be as if I never left the classroom. :)
