You Tube Audio

When we decided to use a powerpoint for the All-Staff Day presentation, I knew which song I wanted to use. However, it was a YouTube video and I could not find the same song, same version, same length of time, anywhere else. Jenny P. suggested I try www.Listentoyoutube.com. At that site, I was able to put in my YouTube URL to “Bellavia”, their software transferred the video to their server, extracted the MP3 and gave me a link to use to download the audiofile. I followed the steps and was able to download the soundtrack alone into the powerpoint. Worked great. This experience was a good reminder that most of my tech problems are probably not new; someone else has probably already come up with a solution and I just need to look for it.

Power Point alternatives

Came across this article from VOYA about alternatives to traditional slide show presentations for students. They give 10 different websites and the way each could be used in a classroom setting or in the public library setting. Check it out!
