Kshitija's curator insight, December 28, 2012 7:21 AM

Thought that movies can be made only with fancy video software? Think again! This video here shows how you can make short movies using only graphics, clipart, animations and other PowerPoint elements. 


The video focusses on digital storybooks, but this technique is quite useful to make short movies even for a business presentation. You could even pick up an animated PowerPoint presentation tool and use that as the basis of for your short 'animated' movie. Something like this doesn't take too much of your time and adding a story/movie to your presentation will add more appeal and pizzazz to your slides!

Technology and learning.....we continue to explore the best connections to student engagement......and even educator engagement

Cris Crissman's curator insight, January 29, 5:50 PM

PowerPoint is like Rodney Dangerfield -- "I get no resprect."  But it's one of the most versatile, go-to tools of all time.
