Thing 11: Slideshare
I found it very time consuming to find slide presentations in SlideShare. I had to sift through a lot of "stuff" to find some real useful ones. Now, maybe I am just not very good at searching...but I don't think I would let my students search the site (it would not be a good use of time). However, as an at-risk teacher, I try to find as many ways to present information to my students using as many learning styles as possible. This site can be helpful as one more place to find another way to present information. I like that in a slide show allows students can go back to previous slides and pause the presentaiton. I do this alot with online videos to allow all students to process information at their own pace. However, most slide prestentations have quite a bit of written text, which for my group of students may be a turn-off. It was very easy to add the presentations to my blog and they might be a good resource for parents to use at home.

As a special educator, I believe it will have little utility for me. However, it could certainly promote independent learning skills with moderatly CI students. The SlideShare you included was an interesting choice, say for alternative education students. Searching could be time-consuming, but that brings us back to using delicious.com bookmarks. Go figure -- it all ties together!
