Slideshare=PowerPoint for a YouTube Generation

October 23, 2006 · 2 Comments

Children very quickly realize the limitations of PowerPoint in the classroom, the limited audience it provides.  Slideshare meets a market for the YouTube generation, providing that PowerPoint a greater audience. 

Remember that YouTube can be embedded into a website so that Powerpoint now it can be shared in a global audience.  This is a way of making something old new.  This could be a simple way of integrating native tendencies for the immigrants.

    Hey guys,
    I have an iMac G5 running tiger 10.4.7 and I an having a wierd problem. Whenever I go to a site that has an embedded youtube, flash or some kind of video, there is no sound. If it a quicktime file there is no problem. There is not sound no matter what broswer I use, firefox, camino, safari, or shiira. And keep in mind that about a week ago I was not having this issue.

    Help Would be awesome
    Thanks!

    Cory,

    Have you made sure you’re running the most recent version of flash and shockwave? You might also want to think about upgrading to 10.4.8. I hope this helps.

    If it doesn’t try this trick within Safari. Go to the Window menu and select Activity. Find the page you’re on and look for the media file. If you hold down the option key and click on the media file it will download it directly to your desktop to view separately.
