Slideshare is pretty amazing. You can insert MP3 audio into your work or even a youtube video. This tool allows you to choose what type of copyright you would like to place on your work before you share it online. Once this is done the presentation can be embedded into other online resources such as blogs and wikis. It also enables the creator to edit or reuse the presentation.
For instance, I chose with this slide show to have a common-share license meaning that anyone can download and use it without breaking copyright laws. Students can use this resource from home or at school.
Slide share is a powerful e-tool that teachers can use to develop their lessons. Colvin Clarke and Mayer (2008) determine that when a relevant visual was used in addition to the text there was an 89% increase in learning. I believe the most important point they were making though was that the visual must be 'relevant' and not just entertaining. You can use slideshare as a group and stop those who are not in the group from following your work which allows the teacher greater control over the content and the safety of the students using it.

Hi Sharon
ReplyDeleteThis was the first time I saw a slide share and seem to enjoy what it has to offer. As a lot of the e-tools are new to me, I am sad at the amount of on-line e-learning tools on the internet that I have already missed.
I will need to look and try to discover more over my time studying, to gain insight into ICT.
Till next time

Hi Donna,
ReplyDeleteI know there is so much out there, and yet, I think it is more important that we use those we do know well than having an endless catalogue of e-tools that we use haphazardly. Sort of the online version of 'busy' work lol! I discovered a place called Kiva the other day though and it's potential in the classroom was immediately apparent to me (see my blog http://sharlock-elearning.blogspot.com/2009/12/kiva-what-concept.html) so it is certainly a good idea to continue to seek them out. I guess you truly have to be a life long learner if you want to stay on top of things in cyberspace!
Cheers,
Sharon
