  16. Polling • Set the polling type • Lock Responses: • If you don't want to accept any more responses or don't wish them changed • Visible/Not visible • Publish to whiteboard

  17. Web Tour • Has most potential for sharing websites • View ALA Connect documents (that are public) • Share Google docs (best when made public) • Useful for showing URLs from a PowerPoint

  18. Web Tour * Any participant can check “Follow Me” Open URL in Browser is a web push Web page opens in each attendee’s default browser and is not shared in the whiteboard

  19. Loading Content • Powerpoint slides are flattened and the links to web content will not work • Multimedia (.mp3, .wmv, .mpeg, .mpeg4, QuickTime and Flash) but these files must first be uploaded into their multimedia library • No Word documents (but there are workarounds)

  20. Loading a PowerPoint • PowerPoint program will need to be closed • Click Load Content button at upper right • When you select the file to be opened, PowerPoint will open and it will appear as if your content is disappearing. Don’t worry. It’s not. It’s a nifty spectacle, though. • When file is loaded, it has been flattened into an image, so no links will be active. Workaround will be presented! • You can close the Page Explorer that opens.

  21. Links to Webpages in PPT • Both Blackboard Collaborate AND Adobe Connect flatten PPTs, so links are not active • Workarounds: • Have a Word document open with URLs, paste in Web Tour when needed • Use Application Sharing – Share Desktop instead of loading PPT • NOTE: Participants will have less interactive capability • With Web Tour, they can independently tour webpages, until you bring them back (“Follow Me”)

  22. Navigating Power Point Check “Follow Me” to have participants always see the slides in the order you wish

  23. After you load a PPT to the whiteboard, the Page Explorer appears. You can use this to re-order, delete slides, or select slides to view. You can close it and re-open it at any time. Once you close it, it will appear in the upper left.

  24. Multimedia (.mp3, .wmv, .mpeg, .mpeg4, QuickTime and Flash) files will be loaded into the Multimedia Library.

  25. Application Sharing • Participants see the contents of your computer • View and edit restricted content (ALA Connect, Google Docs) • Display your Powerpoint and links to web content within the presentation • Co-edit Word documents
