2. Web Tool Presentation:
 Slide Share Slide Share is a web tool 2.0, which allows to users share different kind
of documents, for example presentations from power point, documents in word,
pdf, open office, among others formats, even with multimedia files like audios of
videos, in a public or private way, just having a count and uploading the
document to the page.
 The viewers can find a big list of documents and see them without a count, also
the readers can comment the documents.

3. A way of using Slide Share for teaching
 I would like to use this tool to explicate a topic in the classroom,
especially grammar rules, structures and giving to students many
examples as an alternative for the power point presentations, these
documents might be from me or present to the class other documents
of Slide Share from other users, so the students can compare and see
different explications.
 But also this tool can be added in other web tool 2.0 like a blog, or a
web page, so I would like to create a blog to include some documents
saved in Slide Share as a help for students who want to take a second
look to the documents and presentations from their homes and take
clear some aspects that maybe in the class they couldn’t get.

4. Academic Interaction in Slide Share
 The students also can use Slide Share in an active way, creating
contents like presentations, documents or multimedia to share with
their partners and teachers directly in Slide Share page or in other tool
like a personal and academic blog or a web page, so the students
can reflect about the document presented by one of them of an
interesting and current topic, comment down below, give
recommendations or feedback, knowing the opinion of others.
 And the most interesting thing it’s that even in certain time, in the
future, a stranger student can find the presentations and these could
be a help for him/her, so language students might support between
them.
 Share own creations with all online public and followers from Slide
Share.
 Receive comments and opinions and be able to respond and
comment other publications.

5. Importance of Using Slide Share Tool
 In this web tool, all people especially students can find a huge
list of educational documents of different education fields,
depending of their interests and needs, even when this tool
don’t have just academic documents, there are interesting
and helpful resource for the individual students' investigation,
because they can find concrete information without need to
download any document.
 By other side, the teachers can share interesting and useful
documents for their students without sending it to each
student, it is just necessary to upload the documents in the
same place Slide Share, so the students can find them easier,
having the document's name or user name of their teacher.
