PowerPoint – OpenOffice

The final presentation will be in PDF format, so nobody can alter your work.

In groups, you’ll make 2 PowerPoints: one in English for classmates and

teachers, and another one in Catalan for parents.

You need to watch and read all the material gathered in London (photos, video
and dossiers). Together you must give structure to the idea you want to present.
Speak it out; explain it aloud so ideas are clear.

 Images. Photos.
You can’t insert them as you have them because they are very heavy.
Resize them when necessary:
o Fastone 1by 1
o Prsetup in group (for example)

¼ of a screen needs 480x330 pixels approximately

A whole screen needs 800x600 pixels approximately

 Images. Video.
Videos in PowerPoint need to be MPEG format. You can do that with
Studio directly from camera to computer. Or you can upload your video to
Youtube (or similar page), download it with Elltube changing the format
into MPEG. Then you can insert it. The problem is the video will
disappear from PowerPoint when you upload your pp into Myplick or
Slideshare, etc.

So an easier solution is uploading your video in Youtube (or similar page)

and embed it in your PowerPoint.

 Sound.
Sound in PowerPoint must be WAV format to avoid problems.

You can present the PowerPoint live, or have your speech recorded.

You can use the programme Audacity to create the sound file to upload
to PowerPoint. This programme has 3 tracks, which allows you to have
background music, background sound effects and your voice.

o Music. Use free music. You can find it in web pages like
“freeplaymusic.com” and www.jamendo.com
o Sound effects. You can find them in
“bancoimagenes.isftic.mepsyd.es” and www.findsounds.com

Sound must be added to PowerPoint when you have uploaded it to

www.myplick.com

Where can you download the programmes mentioned from?

 You can ask your teacher to pass them on to you on a pen drive
 You can find Audacity in Softcatalà and Softònic, and also in Xtec. You
must have the “Lame” file (llibreria) to be able to export into MP3 (the
version in Xtec has it)
 Prsetup. Look for “graphic software – High Qualitiy Photo Resizer” in
www.naturpic.com/download.htm
 Fastone. You can find “Fastone Capture 6.3 or Fastone Photo Resizer
2.8” in www.fastone.org
 Elltube. Try finding it with google. (free programme GNU)
