Thing 18: Slideshare

What did you like about the presentation you embedded? How might Slideshare be useful in the classroom? out of the classroom?
I just attended a workshop on Fair Use and Copyright, but the presenter did not provide an online version of her .ppt presentation. I conducted a search using the term "fair use."The presentation I downloaded was created for a 7th grade class, which is also my audience. Slideshare is useful because it saves time in creating the presentation myself if I find a topic similar enough to one I wish to teach. I'm a firm believer in sharing resources. However, like everything else on the web, evaluation of information is necessary. The howto presentations may be useful both for classroom and home use. I conducted a search using "howto moodle" and found one relating to creating quizzes on moodle. We recently held a workshop on this topic, so I emailed the link to one of the presenters.
