1. Uploading movies from the Web and Embedding into Power point and adding Audio Mary Clarke-Miller Integrating technology into lessons using power point.

2. Audio – play across slides Insert sound from file Click on speaker click slide show – then custom Animation Right mouse click on music go to effect options – change settings to suit your need. For this option you need to make sure you copy the file and bring with you.. As it is only a link to the folder – as is any “insert” mode. More on embedding to follow

3. ZAMZAR.com Zamzar.com is a great way to upload videos from Youtube or other school blocked websites. It is a free service unless you want to manage a lot of files..

4. Tabs are your friend Open up your browser Got to You tube – find the video you want to upload and click on play.. While playing highlight the full address bar and hit ctrl +C to copy. Open up second tab or window and go to Zamzar.com – paste URL into Step 1 box after clicking on URL link.. Step 2 choose mov Step 3 email Step 4 convert

5. Purchase Quicktime pro = $30 While Zamzar says it can convert web videos to avi or wmv – I have had trouble with these formats not playing. I upload any movie as a.mov file and then export through QT to create an.avi or.wmv so that the movie WILL play in Power point. QT allows you to perform simple edits and is worth the cost.
