One of the things that many wanted to include was a slideshow of pictures from classroom activities and field trip activities. One way to do this is to embed a Google Slides presentation into a page. Another way is to embed a Flickr album into a page. The embedded album will be displayed as a slideshow. How to embed a Flickr album into Google Sites: In your Flickr account select "albums." Choose the album that you want to display.  Select "share album." Choose "embed" and copy the provided code.  In Google Sites select "embed" from the "Insert" menu. Paste the embed code copied from Flickr.  This post originally appeared on Free Technology for Teachersif you see it elsewhere, it has been used without permission.               Related Stories Google Offers a Sites Conversion Tool - Domain Admins Take Note A Quick Google Docs Formatting Tip How to Include a Discussion Element in Your Google Site   • Email to a friend • How to Embed Your Slideshows Into Your Blog Yesterday's post about Speaker Deck prompted a few readers to ask me about other options for embedding slideshows into blog posts. The options are different depending upon which slideshow tool you like to use. Therefore, I'm sharing methods for embedding slideshows made with the three most popular presentation tools. Google Slides Follow these steps to embed a Google Slides presentation into a blog post: In the Google Slides editor select "publish to the web" from the "File" drop-down menu.  Select "embed" then choose a display size.  Click "Publish" then copy the provided embed code.  Paste the embed code into your blog post as HTML (don't use "compose" mode in Blogger or "Visual" in WordPress/ EduBlogs).  PowerPoint To embed a PowerPoint presentation into your blog follow these steps: Your PPT file must be stored in OneDrive.  Open your PPT from OneDrive in PowerPoint online.  In the upper, right corner of the presentation open the menu for additional options then choose "embed." Choose the display size that you want to use then copy the provided embed code.  Keynote Keynote doesn't provide an embed code the way that Google Slides or the online version of PowerPoint does. That said, you can try following these directions to embed a Keynote presentation into your blog. This method will not work with all blogging platforms. If it doesn't work for you, you can export your Keynote to PowerPoint format and upload to SlideShare which will provide an embed code. Or you can export your Keynote to PDF and then upload it to Speaker Deck.  This post originally appeared on Free Technology for Teachersif you see it elsewhere, it has been used without permission.               Related Stories Three Ways to Develop Programming Skills This Summer A Quick Google Docs Formatting Tip An Interactive Story Building Lesson   • Email to a friend • Where Is That Summer Paycheck Going? - A Lesson for High School Students Summer is near and for many high school students that means it's time to start working at summer jobs. For many students the first real paycheck that they receive comes with a surprise in the form of tax withholding. PBS Learning Media has a free lesson plan through which students learn about reasons for taxes being withheld from paychecks, where the withholdings go, and why some people have more or less withheld than others. In addition to helping students understand taxes withheld from paychecks Taxes - Where Does Your Money Go? introduces students to concepts related to saving for retirements. To that end, the lesson plan includes a video about how a self-employed person handles budgeting for taxes and retirement. Applications for Education I'm self-employed and sometimes I'm still surprised by how much is withheld from my paycheck so I have no doubt that many students are surprised by the same. This free lesson plan could help you help your students be a little less surprised when they look at their paychecks from their part-time jobs.  This post originally appeared on Free Technology for Teachersif you see it elsewhere, it has been used without permission.               Related Stories Nine Fun and Challenging Geography Games How Does the Brain Work? - A Series of NOVA Lessons Docs Teach Adds New Primary Sources About WWI   • Email to a friend • More Recent Articles An Interactive Story Building Lesson Google Offers a Sites Conversion Tool - Domain Admins Take Note Speaker Deck - A Simple Way to Share Your Slides ClassDojo Introduces a New Digital Portfolio Option Three Ways to Develop Programming Skills This Summer
