This document outlines the process for uploading, processing and sharing presentations and videos via SlideShare and Picasa Web Albums respectively. Sharing of digital materials can be undertaken using a variety of methods and sites ‐ this document depicts just two possible solutions.
10. The Result
When the process is complete view your presentation and you will now see a banner in the upper left‐
hand corner which reads: “Slidecast ‐ Audio track inside.” Pressing play will start the audio track with
synchronized slide transitions
Figure 7 A yellow banner indicates the presentation features a slidecast.
Just to the right of the presentation you will also see your avatar image, name as well as a link to the
presentation. In this example (Figure 7 above), the presentation is a private one restricted to “Only
Me.” As such the link indicates it is a Secret URL.
Embed Code Snippet
This area also features an embed code snippet, which will enable you to feature the slideshow in 3rd
party websites like blogs and wikis.
If this snippet does not appear here you may need to activate the option. To do this click on “Edit
Presentation” just beside the title (Figure 7 above) and tick the option in the privacy section that reads
“Allow embedding outside SlideShare” (Figure 8 below).

14. Visibility Options
As shown in Figure 13 (above) there are three distinct visibility levels. As the Picasa and Picasa Web
Albums Help page discusses (http://picasa.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=39551):
Public
Set your album visibility to 'Public' to make them viewable to anyone who knows the URL of
your public gallery. This URL is easy to share ‐ it's short and based on your Google Account
username: http://picasaweb.google.com/[Username]. Your public albums may also appear in
public search. Learn more about public search.
Unlisted
Set your album to 'Unlisted' to limit who can see your album. All unlisted albums have an
authorization key in the web address; the key is a combination of letters and numbers which
make the web address very difficult to guess. Anyone that has the exact web address will be
able to see your unlisted album.
Sign‐in required to view
Select the 'Sign‐in required to view' option to set the highest level of privacy for your album ‐‐
you specify who has permission to view it, and visitors must sign in to their Google Account to
verify their identity. Anyone not included on the album's 'Shared with' access list will be unable
to view the album. Learn more about adding and removing visitors from your 'Shared with'
access list for albums that require sign‐in to view.
Step Four: Upload the File
After pressing Upload a pop‐up loads, indicating how much time remains in the process. When the
upload process is complete you are given the option to view the file online.
Figure 12 When the upload process is complete press View Online to view the file on Picasa Web Albums.
