Slide Presentations

Lots of students use slide presentations to display their knowledge and work. SlideShare is a Web 2.0 tool that allows users to upload and share these presentations. Not all the bells and whistles of a PowerPoint presentation may transfer, but it is a useful tool when you need to share the presentation or want to make it available to a wider audience.

SlideShare just posted the winners of its The World's Best Presentation contest. The contest drew over 2,400 entries. The top three winners are posted on the SlideShare newsletter. You can use them as examples for how to do a "good" presentation. SlideShare is worth browsing for ideas on how to present information, ways to effectively create slides, and for classroom content. Many of the slideshows can be downloaded and embedded in your web page or blog.
