Powerpoint Continues...

This is it, my Powerpoint. It has taken me three attempts to get it to my blog but I have learned much along the way.

I saved my Powerpoint as a PDF flie.

I looked on Youtube to see how to get a PDF file onto Blogger. This was complicated and I even checked out one version in Spanish.

I signed up to Scribd. www.scribd.com Scribd descibes itself as "the worlds largest social reading and publishing company". Signing up is free although you can utilise Scribd without signing up. Your can choose if your items are for public or private viewing. I chose private so am yet to determine if anyone else can view my Powerpoint via this blog. I would be very wary of Scribd in a school setting. There are advertisments and flashing "click here" sort of boxes that I steer my own children away from. Also as the content of other's publishing is unknown I wouldn't be comfortable letting students (I am Primary) loose on this site.

I have just checked my link via Scribd and am happy with it. I checked all the embedded links and am very pleased that nearly all of them work. The link on the last page is to Facebook and I am having trouble with that one. 3/4 is pretty good for me at this point! I aim to fix the last one when I have a spare half hour - these things take time!

As a footnote, I asked my 12 year old son to help me with loading this powerpoint. He is a Digital Native who uses a personal Toshiba tablet throughout his school day. He helped me improve my Powerpoint, whizzed through the converting to PDF, guided me to Youtube and gave up on loading to Blogger before I did!
