On the 5th day of Christmas, a teacher gave to me! Tips on embedding programming within your PowerPoint presentations.
In yesterday’s video tutorial, I showed you how easy it was to record your presentations for flipped learning. Today I’m going to show you how you can load up web pages within your presentation. For this example, I’m going to use Python compiler found online. The version of Python that we will be using is Python 3.3 – https://www.tutorialspoint.com//execute_python3_online.php – I have tried other compilers but for some reason, Office Mix does not support some of them. I know for a fact that Office Mix supports Python 3.3 with the use of the website above.
I would like to thank @innovativeteach for this tip. We were talking about how you could do this with other software a few months ago and he brought my attention to this. Thanks dude!
The video below explains how to do it and you can also follow step by step instructions with images below.
Once you have loaded up your presentation, find the office mix tab.
The next step that you will need to take is the quizzes, videos and apps button.
Once you have clicked on the button above, you will be given a list of applications which can be embedded into your presentation. You will want the Web Viewer. Click on the add button.
Type in the website address that you want. Then click on the preview button.
You should now have your website embedded into your PowerPoint presentation. You can now code without having to leave the presentation.
*Update – Without Office Mix*
A friend of mine tweeted me to say that he doesn’t have Office Mix on his computer and I realised that this could be a problem. Here is the work around for getting this feature into your presentations! When you load up PowerPoint, you can go into your options. Click on File > options > customize ribbon
Make sure that you turn on the Developer tab. Come out of the menu and go to the Developer tab which will have appeared at the top of your screen.
Click on the more controls button in the developer tab.
You will be given a menu, and you will need to select the Microsoft Web Browser from the menu.
Now draw a box for viewing your website!
Go back to the menu at the top and select the control button tool.
Draw the button on the screen.
Double click on the button to add the following code.
Press the save button, load your PowerPoint up and push the button!
Watch the magic!
