Power Point Tools and Resources

EmergingEdTech presents a number of ideas and free resources that can help you add fun and pizzazz to your PowerPoint slide presentations by incorporating engaging visual and audio elements. The extent to which you evolve your slides is limited only by the time you wish to devote to it, and how imaginative you are. Of course, it's also important not to get carried away (which is easy to do with some of these tools), so remember that the addition of a couple simple visual or audio elements is usually more than enough to add new life to an old slide deck, or make a new one fun for both you and your students.

Safety Mode for Youtube

"Diversity of content is one of the great things about YouTube. But we know that some of you want a more controlled experience. That's why we are announcing Safety Mode, an opt-in setting that helps screen out potentially objectionable content you may prefer not to see or do not want others in your family or classroom to stumble across while enjoying YouTube. An example of this type of content might be a newsworthy video that contains graphic violence such as a political protest or war coverage. While no filter is 100% perfect, Safety Mode is another step in our outgoing desire to give you greater control over the content you see on the site."
