General PowerPoint Tips

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.

Funny Clip about PowerPoint

Inserting Video from Youtube 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.

In PowerPoint 2007

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

Power Point 2007: Find a Youtube video you want to use. Highlight and copy the URL.

Tinkering with the URL

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfxrTD-kPps&list=PLB22AFD557520F113Take 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.

Click on the developer tab Find the controls bar and click on the

tools button.

The More Controls box comes up. Scroll down to “Shockwave Flash

Object”

Hit okay and draw your box of where you will put the video

Right click and go to “properties” 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.
