Presentation Tools

I find the options that Sandy introduced us to as very good resources and options for creating presentations. Slideshare is amazing to have a resource where an unbelieveable amount of slideshows on such a vast number of topics are available for use (it would be cool if we could make our own contributions to this site at some as well). There has to be something that can be used in our classrooms at this site to make learning more visible and interactive for our students as well as make our teaching have more of an impact for more students (perhaps a good differentiation resource). Using 280 slides to create a presentation seemed easy enough on the first go around. I did take a decent amount of time to create my presentation, but most of that time was spent exploring what 280 slides has to offer as well as figuring out how to embed it onto my blog (which never happened). You can find my slide show presentation on my Diigo bookmarks page. I can see where 280 slides would be a more streamlined presentation tool for our students because the options for the details are more limited than Power Point, but it offers enough creative options (picture, video, etc. download options)to make your presentation imppressive. I had a great deal of fun exploring and creating.
