Learning through Sony’s PSP

RSS Powerpoint to PSP – Topic:The Dissolution

The Presentation was an introduction on how to identify and organise information in regards to the Dissolution of the Monsateries by Henry VIII.

Point your PSP Browser to http://tinyurl.com/pspteach1 (going their via a normal browser will bring up the images in reverse order)

You can download the Presentation on Dissolution.

I will be posting videos on how to export slides to images, how to resize the image to PSP format, how to rename files, uploading images and finally how to create a RSS feed which you can easily navigate your PSP to.

I have uploaded images of my Powerpoint to my Picasa Web Album and then created a link to the RSS Feed. This will allow you to download the Powerpoint Presentation in the correct order. You can then use the Powerpoint in your lessons by hooking up the PSP to your TV, Monitor or Projector (PSP-2000/3000 models only). You can of course use the slides to refresh you memory of the topic or you can pass them on to students so that they can access the Presentation at their own pace.

This is a quick video post showing the recent RSS updates that I have made.

To access these RSS updates through the PSP or PC simply go to http://tinyurl.com/psp909 for the RSS Wallpapers and http://tinyurl.com/psp989 for the New Update.

These are simple photobooks that can be created through simple software and how to guides.

PSP Teacher presents Nov News Photobook

I have collected some of the news from the month of November and the updates to the PSN store and produced a nice 11 page photobook. You can download this and all future updates through the RSS Feed I setup using my Picasa account. Just point your PSP’s browser to http://tinyurl.com/psp989 and you will be prompted to save a RSS Channel. Now using the built in RSS Channel on the PSP you can download a free photobook. I will be doing this every month from now on and I will beputting up other content via RSS and downloads, including wallpapers and essays. Here is a zip file for those not RSS inclined.

UPDATE: The book currently downloads the images in reverse order. Therefore you will have to go to the bottom of the folder and then go through to the next page by clicking the LEFT shoulder button. I will fix this for future installments and other photobooks.

FINAL UPDATE: The RSS feed now gives you the images in the reverse order as I have reverse the numbering of the files. This suprisingly means you get the photobook in the correct order once you have download it via RSS.

You can use simple software designed for the PSP to convert text into images. Just place the created ebook into the PHOTO folder within your PSP.

Essential Tip

  1. Keep to a simple plain background of black or white
  2. Both portrait and landscape view work but I have found the latter to be more conducive to reading
  3. Keep the font simple and always put it into bold
  4. The minimum font size to use is 12 but i prefer 14 or 16
  5. Always number the pages
  6. Increase JPEG Compression to ‘Best

Visit the tutorial page and help page on the website

Download the software from the site (XP)

Interview with Stargate’s Radek

I am a big fan of Stargate and I thought I could create a image book using a recent interview. The main interview took 1 minute to create but the images and editing took almost an hour to do. This is an example of how you can use the free software to convert text into an article or book for you PSP image folder. You can even sync it to your ipod and it will be readable.

Visit original Interview and associated links 1 and 2

Visit GateWorld, The Store, Creation Store
