Recording Sounds! Go Full Screen to see in greater detail?

View the Movie to see how to record your self.

WARNING WARNING

Many of the movies have been made on an Apple Computer. PowerPoint on a PC is a little different.

But recording sound into your presentation can be achieved in the same way.

 

• On a PC you will only be able to complete this exercise if you have a separate microphone. On Apple computers microphones are part of the computer.
• On PC's ask your teacher if you have to do this exercise in which case they will lend you a microphone.

6. Add the file home_button.gif to Homer’s page and Create an action setting to go to the home page.
   
7. After testing that the link works, copy and paste the picture to each other character’s page.
