Putting a Web Browser into PowerPoint

Instead of using a separate window you can do your browsing and look ups within a presentation by having a web browser on one of your pages. Use a show & return hyperlink to get to the page when you want to bring up some live content.

Make Word display your videos.

You can use this technique to have a video presented to a student that they can take notes about directly. They are not presented with two windows to switch between nor are they distracted by a full internet browser. The video does not inflate the file size since it remains on YouTube. You can have multiple videos in the one document. You can find a sample here (this will download a zip file called verbs2 which has a word document inside - source qt.net.nz).
