Is that possible?" The answer is yes, that is possible. The way to do that is to use an often overlooked feature of PowerPoint.  The web browser version of PowerPoint has a built-in subtitle and translation feaure. To use it you simply choose the language that you are speaking in and choose the language in which you want subtitles to appear. With this feature enable it's possible for me to speak in English and my subtitles to appear in Spanish, French, Icelandic, or dozens of other languages.  In this video I demonstrate how to generate live, translated subtitles for your PowerPoint presentations.       • Email to a friend • Take a Look at Your Google Docs Activity Dashboard The activity dashboard is one of the "hidden" or overlooked features of Google Docs that I use on a fairly regular basis. It's a handy little feature to use whenever you're sharing a document, but is particularly useful when sharing with more than one other person. Through the activity dashboard you can see who the document is shared with, who has viewed it, how many times it has been viewed, how many comments have been added, and you can review the privacy settings for your document.  In this short video I demonstrate how to access the activity dashboard in Google Docs.    Applications for Education The activity dashboard in Google Docs can be helpful to get a sense of how your shared documents are being used within your school or department. For example, I'll use it to see trends in how often and when documents that I share with my department are access. It's also helpful for quickly tracking revisions to collaboratively edited documents. It's important to note that this option is only available to Google Workspace users and not available to consumer (Gmail-based) accounts.     • Email to a friend • How to Create Multimedia Maps in Padlet Padlet is one of the most versatile ed tech tools you can put in your digital toolbox. Creating multimedia maps is one of the many things that you can do with Padlet. In fact, there are two ways that you can create multimedia maps in Padlet. The first method is to use the built-in base maps option in Padlet and then add multimedia placemarks on the map. The second option is to upload an image of map and then add multimedia placemarks to it. In this new video I demonstrate both methods.    Applications for Education Next week is Geography Awareness Week. Creating multimedia maps in Padlet could be a good way to help students develop an understanding of where places are relative to each other. For a little deeper lesson on geography awareness, give students a list of places to locate and then list in the placemarks aspects of the five themes of geography for each place.     • Email to a friend • More Recent Articles Solving Problems With Simple Machines Three Tools for Adding Must-Answer Questions to Videos Try Tract for PBL and Win Prizes Free Webinar This Thursday - Two EdTech Guys Take Questions Lumio - Connect With Your Class
