I’ve been experimenting once again to find the most effective and efficient way of embedding slides into unit blogs. When I’m using PowerPoint the easiest way to store and show slides pre- and post-session is through slideshare, the YouTube of slideshows.

You can link to YouTube videos (and specify start/end points) in Slideshare and specify where they should appear in the slideshow. So now we have:
(The first video appears after slide 11) The slideshow even tells us that YouTube videos have been embedded.
More on slideshare features soon.
