Slideshows on the Web

If you would like to share your slideshows with others, you can sit down at a computer together, send the slideshow or movie through email, or burn the files onto a cd. You can also post your slideshows online to make viewing the slideshow easy for anyone who has a computer and can go online. I have tried a few sites, and these are just a few examples.

If you create a slideshow with Picasa, you can post your slideshow online with Picasa Web Albums. You will need to sign up for a free google account, or use your existing account. Here is an example of a slideshow using Picasa Web Albums.




You can sign up for a free flickr account, post pictures online, and organize them into sets. Each set can be viewed as a slideshow. You can send the link to the slideshow to friends and family. Here is an example of a flickr slideshow:





If you use PowerPoint, you can upload your slides to Google Documents and post your slideshow online. You'll need to sign up for a free google account, or use your existing google account. I created a very short Robins Slideshow
that shows a mother robin feeding one of its young so that you can see how Google Documents works.

If you use iMovie to create a slideshow/movie, you can post it to YouTube. You will need to sign up for an account and follow the directions they provide in the help section. There is a video that helps explain how to upload videos on this page.
