Create and Distribute a Class PowerPoint Presentation (II)

Creating a good PowerPoint presentation is the first step. Remember to practice over and over your class PowerPoint presentation until to a perfect extent. The next thing is distribution of the class presentation. How to distribute it depends on several factors, where the class PowerPoint presentation is made, where it is going to display, and how many students or classmates will attend to your class, etc.

I have mentioned in my previous post (Section I) how to make a fine class PowerPoint presentation, now I am to share with you how to distribute a PowerPoint masterpiece in the following Section II.

Section II: Distribute a Sound Class PowerPoint Presentation

1. Save your class PowerPoint file on the same computer
If your class presentation is created at and is to be distributed with the same computer (usu. your laptop), then simply leave it there. But by this method, you may run on certain risks of the vulnerable PowerPoint - computer corruption, Internet disconnection, and virus attacks. Many people do that, however, it is not recommended, especially when your class PowerPoint presentation is of critical importance.

2. Simply e-mail your class PowerPoint file
It is a PowerPoint presentation of homework, and you are required to email to your teacher's account for review. In that case, simply e-mail the presentation.

Note -

• Don't email a class presentation unless you are sure that the recipient use the same OS (don't email from a PC to a Mac), the same version or later of PowerPoint program. Some people don't have MS PowerPoint installed on their computers, nor do they have a proper PowerPoint Viewer to read your class presentation.


• Don't forget to include the whole PowerPoint components (the presentation itself, the sound file, the video file if there is any) in the same folder before zipping it to email. Otherwise, the sounds or video clips embedded in your class presentation will not play on the recipient's computer.


• And don't email your class PowerPoint presentation if you are afraid of unwanted modification by others.

3. Save your class PowerPoint content to video

For an online class, you can apply this simple but effective means - save your class PowerPoint content to video, which is more flexible for Web share. When your class PowerPoint content is finalized in protective video, you can email it with comfort or upload it to your website, blog, MySpace, or YouTube, and invite your students or classmates to join in. Nevertheless, finalize your PowerPoint presentation in video first, using some excellent conversion software like PowerPoint to Video Converter

4. Save your class PowerPoint presentation onto a DVD disc

If you are to take your PowerPoint presentation from home to school, consider burning or saving it to a DVD disc. A DVD backup is a wise relief from your vulnerable PowerPoint presentation. You will neither suffer from such computer risks as computer corruption, virus attacks that may occur by Method 1, nor bother to any version trouble or cross-platform inability as may happen by Method 2. An additional benefit of this PowerPoint to DVD method is that you can play your class PowerPoint at a DVD player on big screen TV, just like a professional movie.

5. Save your class PowerPoint file as PDF
As to printing and reprinting, you can save your class PowerPoint as PDF. Before taking this means, you should make sure your recipient has Acrobat Reader or else PDF viewer on his/her computer. If your class presentation is composed on MS PowerPoint 2007, you can save it direct to PDF since there is a Microsoft Save as PDF or XPS Add-in for 2007. You can also use a standalone conversion app, e.g. PowerPoint to PDF Converter, to turn your class presentation into organized PDF. Save as PDF, and give a PDF copy to each attendant, when you intend to deliver your class presentation with full sense.

Voila. The remarkable teaching aid PowerPoint deserves your effort and taste. Take all the tips here on class presentation creation and distribution, and make full use of PowerPoint to improve your teaching.

Plant PowerPoint to DVD, Share Slideshow on TV Screen

No matter to give a class, host a meeting, sell a product or train a team, MS PowerPoint works utterly nice. But it is never enough when you have to resume a PowerPoint piece on another OS but with lower MS programs or to archive it for future use anywhere else.

To troubleshoot the extensibility of a presentation, you can use an intermediate, something like a converter, to clone your PowerPoint content onto a DVD disc. This is really beneficial - because by converting PowerPoint to DVD, you can easily access a slideshow on either a TV or a different computer, and keep it as a memory copy for more delivery.

Choose the Coolest Converter

There is a dazzling string of conversion choices when you Google with “PowerPoint to DVD”. But be sure to pick a truly smart program. Screen capture tools like TechSmith Camtasia Studio 4 and Adobe Captivate 3 do work well, but such tools won’t cost you a small bulk.

The best PowerPoint to DVD solution should be a combination of efficiency and economy. To be frank, Moyea PPT to DVD Burner is a proper software app that empowers you to create cross-platformed presentation (in form of DVD or video) while saving your budget most at just dozens of dollars. And of course, it is a one-step option to burn every subtlety of the PowerPoint source onto a protective DVD. Give it your PowerPoint content, and it let you take a genuine DVD copy in one second.

Stunning PPT Stuff on TV Screen

When you are presenting to a certain group, you can switch the burnt DVD presentation on a big-screen TV (along with a DVD player). There is no need to worry any more about the problem of lights with projectors. You can keep all or most of the lights on when delivering your presentation with TV. Make sure your text and graphics are large enough to be seen on the small the screen. You will probably have to increase the type size significantly.

Another merit of slideshow on TV is to make you closer to your audience. No need to always sit in front of the podium that barrier between you and your audience. You can step down to join in all those eager ears and make a concise connection.

In brief, planting presentation stuffs onto DVD disc is of great help to amend the deficiency of PowerPoint itself, as it offers a straight way to share your amazing slides on TV and thus deliver your ideas more flexibly.

PPT vs. PPS

If you are a novice user of PowerPoint, you may sometimes get confused by a couple of PPS or PPSX presentations. You may wonder what utterly its difference is from a normal PPT or PPTX extension, and how should he view the PPS presentations in a PPT manner.

Before discussing the difference, you should be aware that no technical difference exists between PPT (or PPTX) and PPS (or PPSX) files. Both of them are based on MS PowerPoint technology.

Compare PPT & PPS

Yet the two presentation extensions show individual focus as in each definition:

PPT is the default file extension for saving presentations in MS PowerPoint 2003 and earlier, while PPTX the default in PowerPoint 2007 and later.

PPS refers to PowerPoint Show, i.e. the show mode extension in PowerPoint 2003 and earlier -- PPS files will run in "play-presentation" mode when double-clicked. Similarly, PPSX works as the show mode in PowerPoint 2007 and later.

Random exchange of extension is available for both PPT and PPS files. It means that you can rename a PPT to a PPS causing no content change; and vice versa. However, this does not work with PPTX and PPSX files, although they share much similarity.

The difference between PPT and PPS lies in how they are treated by PowerPoint. By default, PPT and PPTX files are opened in edit mode that lets you to use all the menus and commands, while PPS and PPSX files in slideshow (play-presentation) mode without a PowerPoint interface. You may need to press the ESC key to exit a PowerPoint Show when it finishes.

Convert PPT to PPS

PPS offers you a complete and stream viewing pleasure of PowerPoint presentations. To convert a PPT file to a PPS, you can try the following two methods:

Tip 1 Rename the PPT file by changing its extension to *.pps. To make that, you may need to uncheck the option "hide extensions for known file types". Or simply go to Windows Explorer > Tools > Folder options > View. Ignore the message of gloom and doom! Note that it does not work in MS PowerPoint 2007.

Tip 2 Open the file in PowerPoint and move the cursor to Save As. Scroll down in the Save as Type box till you find PowerPoint show *.pps.

Convert PPS to PPT

Is there any way of converting a PPS file back to PPT format? Of course yes. Simply open the PowerPoint Slow, go to File dropdown and resave it as a PPT. Again, note that it fails to work in 2007 MS PowerPoint due to a security check built in which checks the extension against the actual file type.

If you want to edit a PPS or PPSX file without changing the extension, take either of these tips:

1. In Windows Explorer, drag and drop the PPS or PPSX file into an empty PowerPoint window.

2. Launch PowerPoint and open a PPS or PPSX using the File/Office button or the Open option to edit a presentation.
