Thing 18

Slideshare

I found this site interesting, but difficult to post from. I found a great slide show to share right off but am having a heck of a time trying to get the code to embed into it...

Ok, I finally got something posted in my blog. I guess it has it's own spot somewhere around this blog. Honestly, more pain than I think it was worth. Maybe I will just need to play with it more.

Am I understanding this correctly? This is not a site to create presentations, but a place to post them for the world to see and use? While I think it will be useful to see what others have done, and I know how to download them (they send you an e-mail with the file on it), I may see what is out there to use. I really need a site that I can create new presentations since I don't have PowerPoint at home. I'm glad then we were introduced to Zoho Show in the last "Thing".

I think this would be useful for students who would be creating presentations for projects and when they are finished they could post them here. Other students could then go and make comments on them too. I'm not so sure it would be helpful for my students to use though. They don't make many presentations for my class.

I did find the "Shift Happens" slide show very interesting, and I think I would like to show it to my students for a great topic of discussion some day.
