Uses in the Virtual Classroom
Within the classroom setting I plan to use Slideshare to:
● Upload presentations about certain topics being presented in class
● Upload Powerpoints, PDF files, and other documents such as Word, Excel, and text files.
● Have students search for specific issues and share with the class
Uses in the Virtual Classroom Cont'd
● Download files so that students may view it's original content
● Produce webinars and slidecasts by adding voice
Impact on Virtual Classroom
Within the virtual classroom slideshare will enhance how information can be presented and distributed to all students. Slideshare will expose the students to additional resources and allow those resources to reach a larger target audience. It will also allow the students to revisit topics and presentations that have been presented in class. For many, this feature will augment their ability to properly prepare for class.
