MS PowerPoint is a great presentation tool to build lessons in. It's even better now, because you can actually place a live AVer doc cam image directly onto PowerPoint slides. You can even annotate over the entire slide as well as record the entire presentation. Slide 1 – Important bullets. Slide 2 – Live doc cam demonstration. Slide 3 – Quiz for the class that you can annotate on.
Place a live document camera image onto any and every MS PowerPoint slide. Once placed, you can resize the image anyway you want. Then simply go into slide show mode and the AVer doc cam automatically streams a live image. The power of showing a live demonstration (dissection anyone) next to bulleted step-by-step instructions becomes apparent with a student's "Ahh" of understanding.
One of the unique features that the MS PowerPoint plug-in gives you is the Spotlight feature. The Spotlight feature focuses attention on a key area in your slide. When used, the feature turns the entire slide area completely opaque while exposing a region of the screen. You can control the size, shape and position of the exposed area, which is perfect for revealing and concealing portions of a graphic or text box.
The Visor feature allows you to cover any area of the screen with an opaque rectangular shield. The shield can be moved either vertically or horizontally to show and reveal areas as necessary. You can even adjust the transparency – perfect for just showing the live document camera image or lesson bullets.
