Flowgram Presentation

I think the version with the Flowgram presentation was a little too involved because I had such a basic concept for my lesson. If I were teaching how molecules bond to one another for a chemistry lesson I think Flowgram would be great, especially since we can embed web pages, so virtual tutorials can be included and it is always good to have a visual with such a complex concept. Images are images, without text or direct instruction, students can perceive images in a totally different way, a way that you had not intended them to.

I think Flowgram is an awesome tool to show how to do something or give a presentation on new software to teachers. I'm positive I'll be back to use it whenever I find it will enhance my lesson. Unfortunately, I had MAJOR problems with loading my PPT into Flowgram. I tried with slideshare and empressor and got the same error message, ARGH! I finally got my PPT to load into the Web 2.0 tool called authorSTREAM. It's basically the same as flowgram, but your audio has to be pre-recorded into your presentation. FLowgram is WAY easier to use, but this was a good learning experience:)

I also had trouble embedding my PPT into my blog, it takes up the most of the screen, but the presentation works fine. I wanted you to be able to actually read what I blogged about, so I tried thumbnailing it and it takes you the authorSTREAM page with my presentation but no sound. HMPH, so I guess the one with the sound is better, but how will you be able to read my blog?

I'll embed the thumbnail for now, any suggestions? Okay, now my sound isn't working, but at least now the presentation isn't taking up too much space! Any suggestions?

I finally got my PPT repositioned, but there's still no sound. I contacted them and hopefully they'll be able be able to remedy my problem.
