traditionally-structured classroom. \u00a0Microsoft <em>PowerPoint<\/em> and Macintosh\u2019s <em>Keynote<\/em> are two of the most popular software options for producing slideshows. \u00a0In <em>Keynote<\/em>, narration of a slideshow results in a single audio file, whereas a <em>PowerPoint<\/em> slideshow narration produces individual audio clips for each slide. \u00a0The single audio file model of <em>Keynote<\/em> introduces some difficulties when one wants to insert a slide, or rearrange slides, after the full presentation has been recorded. \u00a0While one can generate individual audio clips in an external program, such as <em>QuickTime Player<\/em>, and drag them into <em>Keynote<\/em>, it is not a simple process and, in the end, <em>PowerPoint<\/em> wins out for the flexibility and simplicity offered by its model of an individual audio clip for each slide.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><a data-postid=\"fsg_post_1238\" data-imgid=\"1240\"

built-in microphone or a USB microphone, you can create your own narrated slideshow. \u00a0The following instructions are specific to a Mac, however the procedure is very similar when using a PC. \u00a0After connecting the mic, if necessary, be sure to select the appropriate audio input\/output source in system preferences. \u00a0Open your <em>PowerPoint<\/em> file and select the first slide. \u00a0Click the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">tab<\/span> labeled \u00a0<strong>Slide Show<\/strong>. \u00a0Then, under <strong>Presenter Tools<\/strong>, select <strong>Record Slide Show<\/strong>. \u00a0After selecting <strong>Record Slide Show<\/strong>, the audio recording screen opens and recording starts immediately. \u00a0You can pause ( ll ), restart ( \u21ba ) &amp; continue ( \u25b7 ) as needed. \u00a0Click on the forward arrow at the bottom of the current slide (or use arrow keys) to advance. \u00a0Press the esc button or <strong>Exit Show<\/strong> at top-center to finish recording. \u00a0Select yes when asked if you want to save your slide timings (this includes audio). \u00a0As you can see, the procedure for creating a narrated slideshow in <em>PowerPoint<\/em> is quite simple.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1243\" style=\"width: 594px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-postid=\"fsg_post_1238\" data-imgid=\"1243\"
