Thing 18

What did you like about the presentation you embedded? How might Slideshare be useful in the classroom? out of the classroom? Here is a Slideshare presentation that I might be interested in showing my students. This presentation focused on using non-fiction reading strategies effectively. I really liked this presentation because it listed many familiar strategies used in tackling the reading of non-fiction. The presentation is simplistic, yet full of information. It is colorful and appealing. I could create my own presentation, but why reinvent the wheel? I think it would be so helpful to be able to search for presentations to use with my students without having to do all of the difficult work of creating them myself. I noticed that some of the more popular presentations were simple how-to presentations that could be placed on a blog or site to help students. These presentations would be very helpful tools. I noticed that they even had a travel section of presentations. I love to travel when out of the classroom. I can see myself watching a presentation before taking a trip somewhere. You could receive lots of helpful travel tips.
