Numero dieciocho

I am really, really excited about using Slideshare!! I enjoyed searching for presentations that were already created. I use powerpoint presentations a lot in my class, and sometimes I just want a little something extra. This website is a great place to start looking. Again comes the time factor though- I started playing around with the site last night and suddenly 2 hours had gone by! You always have to be mindful of the time you are spending.

Another good aspect to the site is that you can access the presentation from anywhere. Now, I can go to the computer lab at my school and still have access to a presentation. I won't have to worry about forgetting my jump drive or anything like that.

I am also excited about having my students place their presentations on this site. I occasionally have them create presentations and it is a pain to walk around and make sure that all of them are saved correctly. Then, if I want to look at them on another computer, I have to jump through some more hoops. With this program, I could have the students save to this site and I could pull it up from anywhere. I wouldn't have to worry about memory space on our computers and I wouldn't have to call my tech person to figure out where a kid's project went to!!! This is definately something I am going to investigate further!!!
