Thing 17: Presentation Tools

You can find just about anything on Slideshare! Every single search term that I asked it to search gave me several options of presentations. Professionally, I found slideshows like "Japan in Pictures", "Geography of Japan", downloadable Math games, and the "Kenya Safari" presentation below.Kenya Safari

I chose this slideshow from slideshare because it includes amazing pictures of an African Safari in Kenya. Some day I would love to go on Safari in Africa, but until then, I can look at this slideshow. I can also use this with my students when we are learning about Kenya.

One of my absolute favorite television shows is "The Biggest Loser". Imagine my surprise when I searched this term, several options came up including one that includes several "Biggest Loser" recipes that I can cook at home.

Slideshare would also be a wonderful tool for students to work together to create a "how to" slideshow presentation explaining how to do a certain math concept. Often times, when students are asked to do this, it helps them understand the concept better.

As for Zoho....wow! You weren't kidding when you said it had all the bells and whistles. I definitely need some time to explore this site and its features further. It almost reminds me of Google docs in a way. It was not at all what I was expecting.

Recently I learned about Prezi's for presentations as well. These are an excellent resource for teachers and students to present their work to a group.
