Sharing is Caring (Thing 21)

Slideshare is a great resource that I have never heard about, but I feel like I've been missing out!  I am often on the hunt for good PowerPoint presentations to help teach my student different concepts.  Sometimes, I feel like I search forever without really finding what I'm looking for (making me think it would have just been quicker to make the presentation in the first place).  I love that Slideshare has a million different presentations all in one place.  The search option is really convenient as well.  I was able to find presentations on a lot of the topics I am currently teaching.  I also really like how you can use Slideshare to embed presentations on blogs or on websites.  This is a great feature especially if you're not sure that everyone has a PowerPoint viewer.

I'm sure I will be using Slideshare on a regular basis in my classroom.  It is a great resource for finding presentations on different topics and it will allow me to turn my own presentations into slideshares.  I love that I can use the PowerPoints I've already created and upload them into Slideshare.  Also, I feel really comfortable using PowerPoint so using SlideShare feels like a breeze.

Here is a quick and simple Slideshare I created on the site BeFunky.  You may remember me talking about using BeFunky in a previous blog.
