Week 3 Entry
http://www.slideshare.net/
What is Slideshare?
It is a site on the internet that you may:
-upload and share powerpoint presentations, word documents, Adobe PDF Portfolios.
This site allows you to share your work publicly or privately.
It also allows you to sign up for free if it is something that you would use on a regular basis.
Benefits of slideshare in the education realm for educators and students.
-This site is suitable for the educator to find any suitable presentations that will enhance the teaching and learning experience and ultimately to engage the learner through a source of visual stimulation.
-The educator could use a slideshare presentation in a blog that can be accessed by the students as an alternative resource.
-The students may share their work to viewers with access to the internet.
Limitations of slideshare in the education realm.
-The educator would be required to be a human filter to ensure students are not accessing information or presentations that are inappropriate or irrelevant to the subject or topic of study.
-The educator would have to have an umbandance of time to sift through the many presentations already uploaded to this site by many users around the globe.
How to use slideshare?
Select the presentation that you want to view and click on the play button. The presentation will after a few seconds automatically go through the different slides or you can press the forward button to move through the slides at your own pace. I have had to use the pause button alot to really view what was on the slide.
Here is a slideshare presentation that I had found that has tools that I have learned about in Managing E-Learning tutorials. By viewing this presentation I realised that the ICTs that were presented to us in the tutorials were only the tip of the iceberg. There is a whole lot more out there. Thank goodness that we didn't have to view more than what we had too as I have had a terrible time in keeping up to date with what was covered in tutorials. If you have the time view this presentation as I believe it is worth your time.
