Thing 18 Slideshare

What did you like about the presentation you embedded?

This is a decent library advocacy slideshow that would be good to use as inspiration to create one for our district. It discusses the current state of access to certified Media Specialists (Teacher/Librarians) in PA, where the situation is a bit worse than in our district (for the moment), but it could provide a vision of what it would be like if such a valuable resource was cut.

How might Slideshare be useful in the classroom? out of the classroom?
I could see it being useful. Hopefully I can find some work related slideshows that I could use in my library class. Just poking around I found some good examples to show when teaching kids how to create PowerPoints. The nice thing about this site is that there are lots of very slick and professional looking slideshows available. As a PowerPoint creator I know how time consuming they can be. I'm always looking for ways to avoid re-inventing the wheel.
