Step 2
Show the class the YouTube tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02A_-3ZwE6w
![Page 41: Seven more unexpected (and great!) ways to use PowerPoint in your classroom](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052823/5554b559b4c90503388b4762/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Step 3 Show the class how to add sound:
From file:

From recording own sound file:
![Page 44: Seven more unexpected (and great!) ways to use PowerPoint in your classroom](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052823/5554b559b4c90503388b4762/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
From recording whole slideshow – timing & sound (best option) or can do a mixture of
all of the above

Step 4
Test sound and transition duration & adjust
Voila!!
