Slideshare

2 11 2006

Slideshare is like Flickr for Powerpoint presentations, once you have created your account you can upload your powerpoint presentations and then either embed them in your blog or provide a direct link to them.

Unfortunately I can’t get mine to embed I guess it is a Wordpress MU issue, so here is a link to mine.

As powerpoints appear to be the common means of communication in lessons in our schools nowadays this seems an easy way for teachers to be able to publish their lesson notes etc, pupils or other teachers could then comment on the presentation.

Hi,

This is Amit from the Slideshare team.

We are working hard to solve the embedding in wordpress hosted blogs issue. Hopefully we’ll be able to nail that soon.

Thanks for using Slideshare.

That looks interesting. This caught my eye becuase we use Breeze to do a similar thing, although entirely pupil driven though.
Could this be used to put course/briefing notes - that would be handy.
Looking forward to being able to use this soon.
