1. Tutorials 4Record 30m Follow the directions to create your background music for your PowerPoint. Now that you have your background music you will be narrating and recording your narration. Part of your grade will be on the quality of your narration:-No distracting background noise-Your voice and words can easily be heard over the soft background music-Not too loud but not too soft-Do not merely read off the text from your slides (especially the friends slide), use notes to remind you of what else to talk about-Be energetic and fun in your narration!! Important. Trying to be funny helps.-Make sure you speak fluid (smooth), clear (articulate)When you are ready to record, go to slideshow > record narrations and add the following vocal commentary to your slides.
2. Slide 1 - Talk about the highlights of your childhood and growing up according to the photos; if you don't remember when you were a baby, comment on what your parents said about you (about 20 seconds)
3. Slide 2 - Share about your mom and dad, their skills & what they do, who you are most like & why, and what they have taught you which will help you in your future career you chose (20 seconds)
4. Slide 3 - Talk about the grades of your siblings, their interests, and their pros/cons (20 seconds); if you are an only child talk about your experience as an only child
5. Slide 4 - Explain more in detail what you and each of your friends have in common and something unique you like to do together (20 seconds)
6. Slide 5 - Narrate in a humorous way the animation and what is going on (10-20 seconds)
7. Slide 6 - Say a creative final thought as you conclude (10 seconds)
8. Time
9. The time in seconds is a suggested time and does not have to be followed exactly, although your presentation cannot go over two minutes. The penalty is one point off per second over so be careful. Make sure you know what to say before you start narrating.
10. Narration
11. When you feel confident, go to Slideshow > Record Narrations and do not choose to link the audio files (checkbox option). Then go to each slide and you will see an audio icon which you can select and change the audio volume to high.
12. Take a screenshot of your slides in "Slide Sorter" view and post to Wordpress.
13. Screencast
    1. Open the Quicktime player application on the Mac (you may need to search for the application on your computer) and it is a free download if needed. Then go to File > New Screen Recording.

1. Most make the mistake of not enabling the audio to record your voice over or music/audio playing. To do this, click on the down arrow to the right of the record button and choose "Built-in Input: Internal microphone" or another microphone if you have one. Make sure the Quality is High and Save to Desktop.
2. Then, import the video into iMovie and export it to Youtube (YT) or to your computer.

1. When finished, post the video to your CA account YouTube as Unlisted which means only people you share the video link with will be able to see it so you can decide who sees it although we might watch these in class.PostFill out this form to submit your video link so Mr. Heil can view it.

For GarageBand, choose new project > Voice, save it as Your Name's Scream to your desktop. Then hit the red record button on the bottom, scream, and press the space bar to stop recording. Then go to Share > Export song to disk, and choose the mp3 option.

Web

When you are finished, go to PowerPoint > Preferences > General > Web Options and type a web page title and some key words that are on or describe your PowerPoint and click save.

To compress the graphics go to PowerPoint > Preferences > Save and make sure the compress checkbox is checked at medium image quality.

Font

In Mac PowerPoint you cannot preserve special fonts so use common fonts that most computers have.
