Learning about Slideshare (creating online presentations)

November 11th, 2007 by Dave

We’ll keep this post short — a few days ago we blogged about the TiE Seattle Funding Forum competition where we presented — at the bottom of that post we included the presentation that we gave — we had some questions about how we did that. It’s actually incredibly easy!

  1. Create your presentation (most folks use PowerPoint)
  2. Go to SlideShare.net and upload your presentation (they make it incredibly easy)
  3. If you’d like to add audio (like we did), you’ll need to record an MP3 file (we used GarageBand) — SlideShare gives you easy to use tools to synch up the audio with the presentation itself
  4. That’s it — our TeachStreet Introductory slideshow is hosted at Slideshare, and we’re also able to embed it in our blog like we did last week (and you can share it as well… either in your blog (hint hint…) or by emailing it to friends (hint hint hint…)

One notes to be careful about — be extra careful that you have the rights to use all of the photos that are in your presentation — we took extra time to search Flickr for Creative Commons photos with the appropriate restrictions.

Happy Sunday!
