Hello Bloggers!!
SlideShare is an internet storage site for PowerPoint and PDF files. There are a large range of excellent slides and pdf files on this site which could prove to be very useful in the classroom. These files may contain specific information which could help guide your students through their learning, or help them to question the norms or accepted beliefs about a particular area. The information and presentations on this website could be very beneficial to students across all learning areas.
SlideShare also gives students the opportunity to upload their PowerPoint presentations or pdf files to the internet for viewing outside of school.
While this is a great source of information I have concerns about its safety for student use. One of the downsides of this source is that anybody can upload any type of presentation or edit the existing presentations which may not leave the file suitable for students to be viewing or listening to. I would use this site very little for student exploration, but as a teacher i would be looking on this site to find valuable resources for my learning experiences. Why do the work if it's already been done for you???
Click the link above to go to SlideShare and let me know what you think.
Cheers, Pete.

Hi Pete,
ReplyDeleteYes this is a valuable resource that can be utilised within the classroom...
Would this be suitable for prep - 3 students?
