Demo on How to Use Authorstream for recording your PowerPoint presentations. Watch BlipTV for the recording.
 * 1) You can present your Bagrut project by adding it to a powerpoint presentation and then adding uploading it to authorstream, adding the url to your project page, or you can let authorstream add your work privately on Youtube and then add the url of the youtube video to your page or you can add a collaborative video (Kaltura) to your page and add the youtube video authorstream created to the collaborative video.
