2.  Youtube  TED.com  video.google.com  Snagfilms.com

3.  Use the standard color schemes. Don’t get creative.  Don’t put text OVER pictures so that it is difficult to read.  Don’t overwhelm students with too much text on a slide.

5.  In PowerPoint 2010 Microsoft has made it EASY for you by updating the software insert embed code in a few clicks.  The only problem I have found is that when using Youtube you need to use the “OLD” embed code.  In PowerPoint 2007 and before you have to use a technique to alter the link in order to play the video through PowerPoint.  Note that BOTH of these techniques requires an open internet connection.

6.  Must have developer tab opened!  Go to PowerPoint Options  Popular  Show developer tab and ribbon.

8. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfxrTD-kPps&list=PLB22AFD557520F113 Take out “watch?” Replace the “=“ with a “/” (forward slash) MAKE SURE YOU DON’T ACCIDENTALLY PUT IN EXTRA SPACES WHEN YOU ARE ALTERING THE URL. IF YOU DO IT WON’T WORK. THIS IS AN EASY MISTAKE TO MAKE.

9.  Find the controls bar and click on the tools button.

10.  Scroll down to “Shockwave Flash Object”

12.  This box will come up.  Go to “Movie” and paste in the altered url.  That’s the one you took out “watch?” and changed the equal sign to a forward slash “/”  Close the box, and when you start the PowerPoint it should work.

17.  Link to PDF instructions  http://www.deadgekko.co.uk/images/pptgoogle.p df http://www.deadgekko.co.uk/images/pptgoogle.p df  Link PowerPoint Add-In: This page contains the link for the add ins for both PP 2007 and later and for PP 97-2003.  http://skp.mvps.org/liveweb.htm http://skp.mvps.org/liveweb.htm  When you use the add-in it will ask you to enable macros to carry out this task.
