Reflection on Powerpoint/Slideshare.net

The activity we did today using powerpoint and slideshare.net was great. We had a chance to come up with a presentation on any topic using power point and uploading it to slide share. From this activity, I learned that it is actually easier to upload and present using slideshare. On the other hand, I've previously used powerpoint so it wasn't new. I didn't run into any problems while working with the two programs. They were both user friendly and faster than other programs I had used. As a future teacher, I would use powerpoint as a tool for everyday classroom activities for students to share their work and present it to the whole class. As for slideshare, I would use this program for their vocabulary words and final presentations. This would help the students with remember key points and terms. I thought that this activity was a great opportunity to explore more tools for learning in the classroom!

Overal, it was great!

My Favorite Slide Presentation

This past week we had the chance to make a story slideshow with the sites given to us to work with. Our group did the Saipan Cinderella Story with Slide.com and that was pretty cool except for the upload of the pics and effects. We all had the chance to present our slide shows in class and compare the sites that we all used. The four slide presentation slides that we used were picturetrail.com, rockyou.com, slide.com, and photobucket.com. Out of all four, photobucket had really nice effects, music, and they were able to control the timing and frames on their slides. So I think that I will be trying it out myself and make it my new favorite site!!! Check it out!!!
