For one of my tech skills projects this semester I created a video Podcast. The video portion made the assignment more complex than simply producing a audio Podcast. The PowerPoint presentation I used for the assignment was an overview of using WebQuests for differentiating instruction. The PowerPoint slides included text, audio, and graphics.
I spent some time looking for free and for purchase options to convert the PowerPoint to a movie in order to create the video Podcast. I decided to use a program called “Wondershare PPT to Video 5.0.0”. I decided to use this product for the following reasons:
· Ability to convert the movie to multiple video formats (MPEG, AVI, MP4, MOV, FLV, AND 3GP).
· The menus were easy to use. For example you can select a format or a function. In my particular situation I was making a Podcast so I selected convert to Podcast and the program took care of the rest.
· I could purchase the download immediately. I was also able to purchase a back up CD for $7.95 for future use. This gave me the benefit of immediately using the software and peace of mind that I will have the product available should I need to reinstall the program or put it on another computer.
If you would like to find out more information about this product, please visit http://www.ppt-to-dvd.com/ppt-to-video-overview.html.
One caution…don’t be put off by the music that will start to play when you are reviewing the product!!
