The Headteacher outlined that for years 10-13, every hour of lesson time, teachers should use Frog to set assignments and include: - Instructions - The activity or task - Assessment **Method** With activities and assessments already being used within their Frog Platform, Michael had been looking at ways in which teachers could talk through prepared material. Having rejected live video conferencing because of technical and organisational challenges, he settled on a little known feature of PowerPoint. **Recording** MS PowerPoint includes a feature which allows voice recording with a presentation. Once saved, it creates a small video file which can then be uploaded as a resource attached to a Frog Assignment.   [![A guide to Assignments](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2591845/c47a1c57-1344-4d7f-ba38-9664ff0b5237.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2591845/c47a1c57-1344-4d7f-ba38-9664ff0b5237)   **Microsoft PowerPoint Recording a Slide Show** ![penistone - gif](https://inspire.frogeducation.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blogs/The%20Frog%20Blog/Penistone/penistone%20-%20gif.gif?width=1018&name=penistone%20-%20gif.gif) **After creating your PowerPoint assignment - use the 'Record Slide Show' functionality.**   ![penistone - powerpoint](https://inspire.frogeducation.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blogs/The%20Frog%20Blog/Penistone/penistone%20-%20powerpoint.png?width=1450&name=penistone%20-%20powerpoint.png) **Record your voice-over in PowerPoint.**   ![penistone - gif 2](https://inspire.frogeducation.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blogs/The%20Frog%20Blog/Penistone/penistone%20-%20gif%202.gif?width=1409&name=penistone%20-%20gif%202.gif) **Export your PowerPoint as a video.** # Speak to **Frog** Back to [**TheFrogBlog**](https://inspire.frogeducation.com/thefrogblog/) ### Last Post [Guest Blog: Central place for useful, vetted third party links](https://inspire.frogeducation.com/thefrogblog/homelearninglinks) ### Next Post [Handing in paper-based worksheets when school is closed](https://inspire.frogeducation.com/thefrogblog/handinginpaperbasedwork) - [mailto:?body=https://inspire.frogeducation.com/thefrogblog/pptrecordings](mailto:?body=https://inspire.frogeducation.com/thefrogblog/pptrecordings) ### Topics - [assignments](https://inspire.frogeducation.com/thefrogblog/topic/assignments) - [Education](https://inspire.frogeducation.com/thefrogblog/topic/education) - [Feedback](https://inspire.frogeducation.com/thefrogblog/topic/feedback) - [Coursework](https://inspire.frogeducation.com/thefrogblog/topic/coursework) ### Related Posts [Three Steps to Whole School Adoption of Frog](https://inspire.frogeducation.com/thefrogblog/wholeschooladoption) [Frog Thanks Schools Through Real World Learning Recognition Awards](https://inspire.frogeducation.com/thefrogblog/rwl-march-2021) [How a department can structure and share resources](https://inspire.frogeducation.com/thefrogblog/departmentstructureonline) ### Subscribe Here! ![](https://inspire.frogeducation.com/hubfs/Blogs/The%20frog%20Blog/Twitterlogo.png) **Featured Tweet** [**View more** tweets](https://inspire.frogeducation.com/thefrogblog/introduction#twittermoment) > Thanks to everyone for your support with Home Learning this week!
