PowerPoint Tutorials: Free Online Videos
I am pretty amazed by the quality of some of the free training videos that are now available at Google Video. I readily found a number of topics of interest and was able to instantly absorb some high quality training material.
And what's more, many of the video publishers allow you to post their videos at your own site.
For example, it took about two minutes for me to post this excellent "Intro to PowerPoint" tutorial by MicroVideo on my site. Now, multimedia and video files can get pretty hefty, but I don't even have to worry about that.... because Google hosts the video at its site, and allows me to stream the video content within my own website's shell.
In other words, Google takes care of the bandwidth.
So if you're a teacher, trainer, coach, or lifelong student: go ahead and give Google Video a try. Simply enter a phrase of interest, and you'll receive a wealth of streaming video content. You'll even get access to handy links that let you email the video to your students...or to post the video material at your own web site.
Just be careful: it's not all great video or rated PG-13! ¶ 2/03/2006 04:19:00 PM
