3. What Is a Podcast? podcast:
An audio (and possibly video) recording that can be listened to (and viewed) via an iPod, other MP3 player, a computer, or a mobile computing device.
Many podcasters will offer an RSS feed to alert users of new podcasts available at the site.

4. Narrate an Entire Slideshow
PowerPoint will allow you to record continuous narration (lecture) as you run the slideshow as you usually would in class.
As you narrate, the time you spend on each slide can also be recorded.

5. Edit the Narration
In reality, PowerPoint records a separate narration for each slide. This allows you to:
Preview each slide narration individually.
Edit the sound for each slide individually.
Begin re-recording from a particular slide, stopping at any point.

6. Steps in Recording Narration
Select this tool to begin recording the narration.

7. Steps in Recording Narration

Recording begins immediately. Begin speaking.
Advance slides by clicking as usual.
If you are using custom animation, click during narration as usual.
Hit ESC to end early, OR record until you hit the end of the presentation.
