In trying to make a visually attractive Power Point Presentation, I found that the process of updating a document that I was familiar with, was not the right ‘key’ to access the information that I desired to have. I saw a video clip online, that I knew would really make my assignment stand out so I tried to copy and paste it into my slide but nothing happened. Fervently I tried to copy and paste, hoping that it would work just as an ordinary clip art, but to no avail. Then I did a search online and came across a software tool called Free Studio.
This software is FREE from DVDVideoSoft as referenced from http://www.dvdvideosoft.com/free-dvd-video-software.htm . It offers a holistic package that helped to solve my multimedia confusion. The software was only 1.21 KB so it did not take too long to download. There were four categories under the following headings: (1)Internet, (2) DVD & Video, (3)MP3 and Audio and (4) CD / DVD / BD. Different options were offered under each category such as, YouTube download, Video to DVD Converter, Audio to Flash converter, DVD Video Burner and much more, up to 23 programs to be exact, all at your disposal which was a great advantage because more of your needs could be met. Also, the program was easy to use, I simple clicked on an option, a window opened and the program was ready to begin. To say the least, I had a good time! I got cool stuff from YouTube saved to my laptop so that I wouldn’t have to be online to view a video or listen to music or depend on a hyperlink to a source online for a presentation to be accomplished. Also by using the option to convert music from a CD to Mp3, I was able to successfully complete my audio piece for this blog.
One disadvantage I realized was its lack of independence of the internet for some options. If I downloaded a song from YouTube to my computer and then decided to change its format to MP3, it could not be changed via this software in that way. That needed to be decided first, because for the program to execute that function, the source was needed.
As a teacher this software, offers many opportunities to enhance lessons and make the classroom experience one that could be enjoyed and facilitate learning at a faster rate because you would have caught students’ attention and used a modem of teaching that they would have been able to connect to.

ReplyDeleteI actually saw the usefulness of this software when you helped me convert something that I needed to download - so I am sold!
