How to Use Talking PowerPoints

Tutorial for using Powerpoints in education (http://www.actden.com/pp/)
Intro
I recently designed a talking powerpoint to use in my classroom to help my students who need intensive, explicit instruction in developing writing skills. After trying it out, I think talking powerpoints are a powerful classroom tool. Several of my students have special visual, auditory, and processing needs that were effectively supported by this presentation. Additionally, the clear visuals and pace of instruction supported the English learners in the class.
How To
Adding voice recording to any powerpoint is simple. The 2 main tools you'll work with in a powerpoint are 'record sound' and the toolbox. In your open powerpoint presentation, under the 'Insert' menu you'll find the option for 'Sound and Music'. A sub-menu allows you to either insert music or record sound. If you select 'record sound', a menu pops up with a timer that allows you to record, pause, stop and play a recording. Once you have the recording you like, you can save it to the current slide. Opening the toolbox, you can select the animation feature and time animation in your presentation to match your recording or vice versa. Under the transitions tab in your powerpoint you can also select 'options' on the right, which allows you to time the transition of your slides with your music/sound.
