Using SlideShare to Post Presentations

Have you heard of SlideShare? SlideShare http://www.slideshare.net/
SlideShare is a way to share and find presentations. You can then embedded the code. Here is a thought provoking presentations on IWB's (Interactive White Boards) and Interaction. Use the controls under the window to navigate.
Using Smart Boards For Higher Level Thinking Skills


Although this class is focusing on SMART Boards, I am modeling Web 2.0 tools (blogs, youtube/teachertube, slideshare, etc) as tool that teaching and learning. This way the materails are online, at your finger tips for you to use in class.

    If you are going to embed slideshows in a blog,then you need a blog template that is wide enough to hold them comfortably. Even better, a lot of care needs to be taken to have the right kind of presentation. Presentations cannot be wordy with lots of small print. When you have a lot of small print and then put it in a slideshow that is smaller than an index card's width - it just doesn't cut it.

    I'm saying this from a design point of view with the end-user in mind.

    Presentations should be short on words and fonts should be large. Their container should be suitably large as well.

    Hi Mary,
    I had the opportunity to watch the quick video clips of resizing magnifier, the smart board demo, and the 30 sec. tip for entering text. I do find these quick bursts of information great. I am able to practice a few skills at a time. Very manageable. Also, the Blooms taxonomy clip was very thought provoking. Karen Rixford

    ahhhh I completely missed the little icon for turning this into full screen mode. Now the container is a much better size.

    Thanks Mary. Many of the links shared (other than the common) are new to me and if I hadn't seen the clip before it surely links to something I did not see yet.

    I am looking at the idea of a Technology PowerPoint to be "smartboarded" together by the students on their first few days of Tech Ed class. The target is Grade 6 - learn what technology is and the seven areas of technology. Also, learn PowerPoint and get a feel for the workings of the smartboard.

    Wish me luck!
