Recording your own sounds is a good op tion be cause, in an ed ucational set-
ting, much of the sound that is valuable is text that is read. If you teach students
who are still learning to read
or students with special needs, pro viding a but ton to
have text read can be very use ful. If you teach pro ficient readers, al lowing new
or dif ficult vo cabulary to be read can be very help ful. When you choose “Re cord
Sound” from the “Movies and Sounds” flyout
menu of the In sert menu, you will
get a di alog box like the one in Fig ure 2.6. (Note that this di alog box will look a
little different depending upon which ver sion of PowerPoint you are using.) Be
sure that you give your sound a specific name so all your sounds are not named
“Re corded Sound.” Click on the circle to be gin re cording
your sound and click
on the square to stop recording. Click on the triangle to listen to the sound.
The big gest prob lem with sounds is in serting them into your presentation
on one computer only to find that they don’t play on another computer. This usu-
ally has to do with whether the sounds are linked or embedded.
