The different challenges of the powerpoint assignment

I tell you the power point assignment was quite a different experience since I normally don't have any issues doing power point presentations.  Integrating the slideshow into slideshare was a little frustrating.  My power point application kept telling me to enable the macros  so it would play the videos.  Then it told me to save it as a power point presentation with enable macros.  When I went to put it onto slideshare, it didn't play the videos.  I kept getting frustrated and thought I was doing something wrong.  Some of the pros of these presentations are that the visual learner may have their attention grabbed.  They may also enjoy looking at the colorful presentation as opposed to just reading the text.  The cons are that it can take a lot of time to construct the presentation.  If you want to include sound, animation, etc, it is even more involved.  Keeping it simple seems more of the way to go.  When I begin to use this in my classroom, I may elect to delete the sound and video.
