Teachers are pressured to perform every day. They need to be at their best so students will follow suit. With additional pressure to utilize technology in their lessons, it can be especially frustrating when the tools don't seem to function as intended.
Many teachers have experienced a video not playing because of technical issues, a file that opened on a home computer will not display on the classroom one, or even the .PDF you emailed yourself won't download. Teachers need tools and resources that are trusted, and work!
SlideShare is a tool that was ranked among the top 10 in the world for educators and e-learning in 2010. It is used and trusted by over 60 million users and viewers. Teachers can trust that their presentations will be there when they need them, without worrying about losing the flashdrive they saved it on.
Teachers can use SlideShare for many purposes, including:
- Posting lesson slides so students and parents can view/review them at home
- Administrators can view and critique lessons without being in the classroom
- Upload .PDF's and documents for students to download
- Embed YouTube videos inside their presentations
- Upload great content so students can share it through Social Media channels (like Twitter and Facebook)
No matter what they use, SlideShare is a great teaching and learning companion.
