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.
