11.5 Thing #9 - Slideshare

Looking at all of these presentations was inspirational. I think it would be important for students to use Slideshare and similar sites so that they could see examples of good and not-so-good presentations. I have felt for a long time that PowerPoint is overused in classroom assignments. However, using Slideshare makes the process more collaborative and current. Students could access their presentations from any computer; currently if the presentation is stored in their documents on the school district's server, they cannot access from home.

Here is a great one from Slideshare called "Death by PowerPoint":
(This presentation just would not load as an imbedded file, so I created a link.)
