Thing 17 Post

What did you like about the presentation you embedded?

I liked the combination of statistics, questions to think about and the wonderful photographs of people reading in all kinds of places, including a swimming pool. It makes its point, it is just the right length and though it was created for a specific school system it has universal appeal.


How might Slideshare be useful in the classroom? out of the classroom?

In the classroom, Slideshare could illustrate many topics for the visual learners in our school. The many examples could also serve as models for our students to follow and they could also practice their skills of criticism and compare/contrast. Slideshare would be a great way to do book talks!
Out of the classroom, Slideshare has great potential to share knowledge on many subjects. Once again, it was difficult for me to stop browsing the vast library of presentations. The best ones are engaging and informative and very watchable.
