Thing #9 - SlideShare

Slideshare is a site that allows you to both publically and privately share presentations, documents and other resources for quick, anywhere and on-the-go access. Students can use the service to post projects or assignments. Teachers can use the site to share lessons, and other classroom materials so students have access to them outside of the school building.

Thissite also allows students to share their work, view other students’ work and make comments. Students’ PowerPoint presentations can be uploaded and then embedded into class/school blogs, wikis and other web sites.

This can be useful for those students that are absent and have Internet access away from school. Students can also be given homework to review a document or presentation or print an assignment from home, public library, or elsewhere. This is useful if a student has left the same assignment at school and needs access to another copy.

Weathering and erosion

One downside is that the site does not support audio and videos embedded inside presentations and slide transitions and animations.
