[Yr11 Information Technology] Web 2.0 - Slideshare Free Online Presentations on Just about Anything

[mppascoe at bigpond.com]

Folks, 

 

A great site for teachers with a PC, Internet Connection, and a Projector in
their classroom, and needing some useful classroom material quickly - all
for Free :-) 

 

What is Slide Share ? 

 

"SlideShare" online presentations can be found at http://www.slideshare.net
<http://www.slideshare.net/>   which is a Web 2.0 type site, where people
can sign up and join the community. (Just remember to check your email
afterwards and reply to the confirmation email, or you will not get full
access) .  However, you do not have to sign up to view the slideshows
online, only to download them and make your own library. 

 

Click this link to see a typical slide share presentation: 

 

http://www.slideshare.net/ebrammer/adverb-adjective-noun-noun 

 

Note that if you click the "Slide Screen" icon in the bottom right hand
corner, you can watch this presentation full size on your screen. Press the
Escape key to get back down to normal size again. Note that often we have to
make it full size to be able to read all of the material on detailed slide
shows.

 

Basically "SlideShare" it is where people can upload their PowerPoint
presentations and have them shared and presented on the web page. Some of
them even have "Get File" buttons so that you can download your own copy of
the PPT, (in PowerPoint format). However sometimes the download does not
always work fro some reason on presentations that are not so recent. 

 

The other handy thing is that you can add "favorites", while signed-in on
the SlideShare page, and thus build up your own personal library of
presentations from anybody. 

 

Here are just some of the thousands of slide share presentations available
on the website. Check them out for your subject area, and also go to
http://www.slideshare.net <http://www.slideshare.net/>   and use the top
right hand search box to find hundreds more.

and literally thousands of others. 

 

Here is a Slide Show all about SlideShare itself.

 

http://www.slideshare.net/steven.anderson/the-digital-classroomslideshare-ba
sics?type=document 

 

Because it is a "document" and not a slide show, it is probably best to
maximise it, (use the "full screen" icon at the very bottom right hand
corner of the slideshare screen), and also use the scroll bar to read
through it like a document, because the author seems to have made some pages
a bit too tall to be a slide. (Use the Escape key to come back to normal
size).

 

 

So check out slideshare sometime,  if you need a presentation for a subject,
(ot to learn something new just for yourself) because there is great
material there, and best of all it is 100% free.  :-)
