Publishing your presentation on the blog

We have enjoyed your presentations at the lesson. Good job! Now you need to publish them on the blog, but you can not do it directly here. Basically, there are three ways to do it:
1. You can publish your PowerPoint presentation on a special site, for example http://www.slideshare.net. For this, you need to sign up and get a free account, upload your presentation and get the "embed in your blog" code. After this you can use the code in your post on the Blogger. If you need help, here is a presentation explaining everything in detail: How to embed PowerPoint presentations using SlideShare. This method has a huge disadvantage - animation effects, inserted videos and sound will be lost.
2. Another way is to convert your presentation into video and then publish it. You can do it on-line on authorstream.com. Here is a video tutorial in case you need assistance. In short, you will need to get a free account, upload your presentation, wait till it is converted and get the code to use on the blog. You can also use some video converting software, for instance, E.M. Free PowerPoint Video Converter. You can download the program and use the How to upload PowerPoint to YouTube Tutorial.
3. The last method is a unique possibility to record a video of yourself presenting! You will only need a computer with a web camera and a microphone. You just go to present.me and get a free account. Upload your presentation (max. 50 mbt), click "Record" and present into your webcam. The resulting presentation will have your slides on the left and your webcam recording on the right! Now you can publish it and be proud of yourself!
So, choose one of the methods and share your presentations with the world!
