PowerPoint and VoiceThread

Over all I had a lot of fun with the PowerPoint presentation. Uploading it to VoiceThread and adding the narration was easy although I wasn't completely pleased with the visual quality. I didn't have any experience with VoiceThread before this project and I always like learning something new. 

My project used a lot of graphics with very little text and I think that worked well in PowerPoint. The visuals carry the point while the notes (and narration in VoiceThread) round out the meaning. However the quality of the graphics noticeable degraded after uploading to VoiceThread. I also had to go back and edit my PowerPoint to get some graphics to show up and upload it again. Even then a few graphics still didn't display correctly. 

Next time if I'm planning to upload to VoiceThread I'll prepare my Power Point with that goal in mind. Instead of creating the Power Point I wanted and then having to adapt it to VoiceThread. I think the number of slides and the information on the slides would depend on whether I was going to use VoiceThread to present it.  

Something I'll use in my career is learning about the large library of graphics in MS Office. Also I learned about the importance of using visuals to keep the audience's attention. This will be useful in the accounting field as slide after slide of numbers and balances can get very boring in a presentation.
