11.5 Things. Thing #9

Slideshare, Slideboom, and others are social networking sites that focused on presentations. A person can upload a presentation to share with others. They can be grouped by category. One can also sign into a like minded group to share and network. I see students using this as a way to share their work. For example, a science class has a project that has students make a presentation on ecology. Students could upload their presentations to a group that is the class and be able to share the presentations. They can do a voice over as if they were actually doing the presentation in front of a live audience. The site also will create an embed code to upload into blogs or other social networking sites. They can also comment and share ideas online. This could be a useful tool for specific projects.
