Thing # 9 - Slideshare

This was interesting - I think that as a classroom teacher there is a great desire to have shared powerpoints; I don't know that kids would find it quite as useful or interesting. After reading Stephen's Lighthouse, it looks as though there are other web based sharing sites that might work better than Slideshare. 280 Slides would be excellent for those that do not have access to PowerPoint...as many of our students may not at home.

This one on advertising would be great to use in the classroom for a persuasive writing assignment - it was interesting to watch.

As for the students using it, I suppose one could create a useful assignment to get the kids involved...I'll have to think on this one. I would love to be able to use it in the classroom though.
