Educational Technology in UT Austin School of Nursing
Serving the learning technology & instructional design needs of faculty in UT's School of Nursing
The Faculty Innovation Center (FIC) recently unveiled a new website full of resources just for you!
Called “QUICK FIC Solutions – A Curated Toolkit for Instructors”, this website contains more than 50 short videos that will show you tips and best practices for everything from dealing with difficult students to how to incorporate technology into your classes.
Recently, it came to my attention that group assignments that had worked in a particular way in the past, no longer seemed to be behaving now.
So, as we prepare for summer and next fall, if you find that your group assignments aren’t letting you assign groups of people to them, try the following:
You can embed ANY web page into your PowerPoint slideshow!
The steps below will show you how to embed a Sli.do poll into your slideshow. The steps are virtually identical if you’re using Kahoot!, Poll Everywhere, or just about any other website.
How do I embed Slido into my presentation?
Slido’s Present view can be embedded into your slides to make poll results and live questions visible directly in your PowerPoint presentation. The setup is really easy! To get started click the link above.
For more detailed instructions, you can also refer to this blog post.
If you have any questions or you’d like to schedule a 1-on-1 training session to learn more about PowerPoint or anything else, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Do you get tired of having to switch back and forth between websites and your PowerPoint slideshow during a lecture? Do you wish it were possible to add that website right to your slideshow?
Well, it turns out you can!
For newer versions of PowerPoint (2013, 2016, Mac), you can download the Web Viewer add-in and place web pages right into a slide within your slideshow.
