Slideshare Powerpoint presentation
View more presentations from elliehood.
Slideshare is a very simple tool to use, users are able to upload their PowerPoint presentations which can then be embedded into their blogs. I'm am now able to see how all of our learning experiences throughout the E-learning course can be displayed on our professional blog to clearly display our knowledge and understanding of the tools studied as well as our ability to use different technology tools.
I can see how great it would be as a Learning Manager to include blogging as a form of assessment. Not only does this make way for the inclusion of ICT's but also displays students learning throughout a unit in terms of submission. Prensky (2005) emphasizes this importance of creating technology rich learning experiences for learners in order to cater for the 'digital natives' of the classroom, as well as preparing students with the skills and knowledge relevant to technology for the future.
It is clear that technology has come a long way! Technology has progressed from documenting diary entries in Word to online blog accounts where photos, PowerPoint presentations, videos, music and a number of other technology tools can be uploaded to display to others (Lincoln & Strommen 1992). In the use of blogs, Learning Managers are able to make use of Slideshare in order to upload PowerPoint's that may contain instructions for students homework. This can been seen as a bridge to e-learning where students view their teaches blog for homework instruction and post their answers to their own blog. Students can also make use of Slideshare to upload their own PowerPoint's to their blogs so that all learning is documented on the one site. Felder and Solomon explain that the inclusion of ICT's such as Slideshare provide students with visual cues to their learning which can aid in their understanding and engagement within a topic (Mueller, 1980), (Kearsley & Shneiderman, 1999).
