I can see where this could be very useful. I have several presentations that I have kept on disc, but by uploading them to the web, I could easily show them in class, or let students look at them in the lab or at home. Sharing presentations that tie to class curriculum with other teachers would also be great. Teachers who live near historic sites could photograph them (or landforms, animals, insects etc. etc) and upload their presentations. Teachers and students could make presentation that could be viewed in the computer lab, at home, or by students in other schools. What a way to share!
After receiving word that there was loud distracting music playing with the slide show, I removed the original and went back to Slide and redid the show eliminating the music. Apparently some music is added as a default. Since I usually leave my speaker turned off, I didn't know that a song had been added to the slide show and was annoying people.
Thanks for your cool post. I do like how you thought about how using an online presentation tool might replace the one you might carry around on a disc or flash drive.
ReplyDeleteJust think - no more lost presentations before class... think about how your students would react to the 'sorry, the dog DID NOT eat your homework' - it's all online.
I like your site, except the music. How do you stop it playing. It seems to be in a loop. I had to sign out to stop it.
ReplyDeleteGood question. I did not put the music in it--at least not intentionally. I usually have my speakers turned off, so when I logged on today it was the first time that I heard it.Yuck.
ReplyDeleteThe sound can be turned off using the speaker icon on the top of the slide window. I haven't figured out another way to get rid of it.
