*Found this post sitting in my draft. Its been there for more than 5 months. Since its been done up, I don’t see a reason why I should delete it. Should just post it out. 🙂

Recently I was asked by a teacher from one of the Singapore School Clusters on how do we create a video using Microsoft Powerpoint 2010. Teachers want to use the feature so that they can create a video for their class. I thought it will be interesting to share how do we go about doing it since i found no clear resource on how we can do this online.

I created this screencast hoping to assist people on how to create a video from powerpoint in Powerpoint 2010
