SlideShare is a website that allows users to upload and share PowerPoint presentations. It can be useful for business presentations, sharing photos, and providing reports to coworkers and friends. It is also useful for teaching subjects like English. The document discusses how SlideShare can be used for teaching by adding various elements like images, videos, audio, and text to present lessons in an engaging way. As an example, a lesson on the simple present continuous tense is presented using shapes, pictures and text. SlideShare can be used as a teaching aid during class and also assigned as homework for students to access on their own devices to study course material.

6. HOW TO USE SLIDE SHARE FOR TEACHING?
Slide Share is an excellent tool, since you can use pictures, text, audio
and even videos in the same file.
I gave a little example of a lesson that I would teach with Slide Share,
the topic was Simple Present continuous, by using shapes like the
arrows, pictures and text students can receive a better input on the
topic.
I would use the slide Share as a support for me during the class, but not
fitting all the class in the slide share, since it is only an aid for the lesson
and not the lesson in itself.
I could give it also as a homework study for the students since they can
access to it from their computers, cellphones, tablets and any device
with internet, they could study the topic and later share in class what
they learned

7. WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF USING
SLIDESHARE?

brings a lot of energy and dynamic to English classes.
Slideshare’s advantages are that you can add a diverse number of
elements that make easier teaching, such as images, videos, audio,
texts and shapes.
You can share easily slideshares to anyone who has a device with
acces to internet and people can share it also.
