11.5-Thing 9

I am new to Slideshare. I hadn't found this resource before. I notice that the medical community seems to have lots of slideshows already up. Authorstream also seems useful and has some nice additional features.
I browsed for quite a while at Slideshare. You have to wade through a lot of things under the topic "education" before you find something specific you might be looking for.
I did find this which is a nice slideshow on some uses for the IPOD in the classroom.
I think I'll be going back and taking a closer look at both these sites.
I think uploading Powerpoints to one of these sites would be a good way to have seamless presentations of work by students without loading a lot of Powerpoints onto one computer. If you find slideshows that are appropriate, students could do independent work based on one of these slideshows. I think this is where my concern about finding what I was looking for comes in. You would have to provide specific links. "Education" can mean education of doctors, inservices for business communities, etc.
This is where direction from the teacher blog would be essential.
