I use PowerPoint2007 for my presentations, which I 'can' save into 2003 format, but then editing of the cooler features is lost.

I thought about uploading the slides to here for you all to play with and use, but there's a 2mb limit and the file sizes (I use a lot of youtube movies in my presentations) is waaaay over that. Even pdf versions of the slide decks are usually over 2mb.

Would it be of value if I zipped up my presentations and left you with links to the 2007 versions, complete with movies, etc.?

Hi Lee,

Thanks for all your recent contributions - this is great stuff.

Posting the presentations as zip files would be fantastic - they would be a great resource. I can think of alternatives to doing that, though, that would let the community here "play with and use" it: pick the best of the worded content and post it on the page directly, then embed the videos via YouTube (you can do that via the 'widget' button when editing a page).

How does that sound? I don't know if that would be too much work... let me know if I can help you out.

Cheers,

Dave

G'day Dave,

Nah, too much like hard work :-)

I'll create zip files that allow folks to play the whole presentation including the movies (embedded), then link to them fm my server.

Cheers,
Lee

Lee, I would be very interested in taking a look at that. How would I access it? Do you find this valuable?

Good morning Lee. Have always enjoyed your reports from Oz in FIR!

I've taken my basic "stump" social media presentation in PowerPoint 2003 and converted it into a Flash presentation that I'm using to demonstrate Articulate Presenter to new clients. Many clients are asking how to combine PowerPoint and podcasts, and we think this is a great solution. The program creates a Flash player you can post to a website, in front of, or behind a firewall, burn to CD, etc. It permits interactive exhibits, self-paced quizzes, and all the other bells/whistles you'd like for an e-learning module.

Everyone can take a look at http://www.lubetkin.net/slideshows/socialmedia/player.html. Might be a better solution for some situations where just posting a PowerPoint deck and an MP3 file as separate downloads is just impractical.

Thanks!

Steve Lubetkin

Lee - you can upload your presentation to slideshare and then embed it here on this wiki, or at least place a link to it. Slideshare now allows users to add sound to presentations, so you can add narration if you like. Do you find this valuable?
