Why Slidecast?- Explain with visuals & audio

- Easier to create & edit than a screencast (which is a video capture of your computer screen with voice-over)

- In both the slide file and the audio file, you can edit a small section without having to re-create the whole thing

- Embed on your website so

You will need- A Powerpoint,

Keynote, or PDF file

- An MP3 audio file

- An account on Slideshare.net

- A sense of adventure!

Creating the MP3- Audacity is a freely

download-able audio editor

- To create an MP3, you will also need to download LAME

- LAME will allow you to export your audio file from Audacity to the MP3 format

Uploading and Sharing

- In Slideshare.net, upload your slides and audio file

- Sync what audio goes with each slide

- Share via a link or post a clip on your library’s website

The Return on Investment

- Your first slidecast will take the longest to create

- The set-up and the acclimation to the new tools takes time

- After you’ve done one or two, you’ll be able to easily maintain and create new content

- The payoff is sweet!
