SlideShare

SlideShare software is a good way to share presentations with others. This software offers the opportunity share publicly or privately.

Take a look at the final course presentation for Patti Rodriguez in the technology course for the School of Education, ED 451. Not only is it creative, but she actually delivered this presentation in the required 5-minute allotment.

With your updated browser, access the BLOG for Ms. Rodriguez at the following link:

I encourage you to give her feedback on her efforts to continually upgrade her technology skills. If you have a GMAIL account, please leave her a message by clicking on the “Post a comment” button. She deserves a pat on the back.

Diigo Slide Show

Initially, I was a bit skeptical of the slide show using only website screen shots, an offering from Diigo:

http://slides.diigo.com/

The site claims that the new user will be able to turn

bookmarks and feeds into interactive slideshows…

The instructions are not very direct or clear, but with a bit of perseverance, one can create a slide slow, create a group (which I haven't done yet), and email the URL.

I have chosen to use this new tool to deliver a mini-discussion session to Guam members of PDK (Phi Delta Kappa), an educational service organization.
