Thing #9 Slideshare

Here is a slideshow I created to introduce myself to my classes at the beginning of the year:

Once you upload your slideshow to Slideshare, you can then make it into a Slidecast by adding an mp3 file. I tried this, but had technical difficulties with the mp3 file. For one; slideshare does not host audio files, so you have to upload your audio file from somewhere else. I think it would make it much easier if slideshare hosted audio files or allowed you to create one right from its website.



Here is one I created last year to market our Westside Engineering and Geosciences program to 8th graders who might be interested in applying:

I think this is another very useful way for students to share their Powerpoint Presentations without having to actually insert them into an e-mail, and a good teaching tool for presentations in general. This is also useful as a research site if students and teachers are looking for examples of presentation to use for a particular topic. Like YouTube and video sources, you can organize and search by tagwords and by category.
