11.5 More Things - Thing 9

Prior to this weeks activities I had never heard about Slideshare. I had heard about Power Point sharing through Google docs. This does seem to be a better way to handle collaboration of student's work. It seems to be more efficient. I can see the potential that tools like this one have. Before you would take the kids to the lab and everyone would open Power point, create their slide and then you would copy and paste each presentation onto a file and then merge the presentations. This tool allows the students to all work on the same presentation at the same time. It also gives a much neater way to present the iformation. Since it can be uploaded to blogs or webpages, it allows the students to share their work at home with their parents. Also, since these programs are web based students can work on projects outside the school day.
I belive that these tools will greatly enhance the productivity of the students.
