Editor's Notes
- LinkedIn SlideShare is a Web 2.0 based slide hosting service. Web 2.0 simply means that it relies on user content contribution. Launched on October 4, 2006, the website is considered to be similar to YouTube, but for slideshows. It was acquired by LinkedIn in 2012.[3] Users can upload files privately or publicly in the following file formats: PowerPoint, PDF, Keynote or OpenDocument presentations. Slide decks can then be viewed on the site itself, on hand held devices or embedded on other sites. (school site or Wiki or even a blog) The website was originally meant to be used for businesses to share slides among employees more easily, but it has since expanded to also become a host of a large number of slides that are uploaded merely to entertain. There is a large section devoted to education where many teachers and students share their presentations and documents.[4] The website is primarily a slide hosting service, however it also supports documents, PDFs, videos and webinars.[5] SlideShare also provides users the ability to rate, comment on, and share the uploaded content. The website gets an estimated 70 million unique visitors a month,[6] and has about 40 million registered users. SlideShare was voted among the World's Top 10 tools for education & e-learning in 2010. SlideShare's biggest competitors include Scribd.com, Issuu and Docstoc. Some of the notable users of SlideShare include The White House, NASA, World Economic Forum, State of Utah, O'Reilly Media, Hewlett Packard and IBM.
- It can be a teaching and learning tool: Share presentations and documents with teachers and students. Huge IB and IGCSE section… Students use Slideshare to look up presentations on subjects studied, topics of interest or for debates (MUN, MAL) etc… Learn any topic through presentations about how to write a novel, how to make great ppt presentations, business tips, how to take great family portraits… you can spend hours browsing through the presentations… I know I have…. Can you think of other ways I can be used?
- Using SlideShare means you will be able to tap into the large number of SlideShare visitors and raise your own profile. Slideshare tracks views and downloads so it not only tells you if the presentation you are interested in is popular but it can tell you if your uploaded slides are getting attention. This can then be boasted about on your resume which may interest potential employers. Using SlideShare is low cost, since there is both a free account option and the option to go pro. Using SlideShare is easy, since most people are already familiar with PowerPoint and so are able to generate content relatively quickly. It ca also be viewed on a mobile device and shared on social media. Using SlideShare is an easy way for students and teachers to collaborate with others. Students can be given a group presentation to work on and each member uploads their part. That way you can make sure nobody gets away with not doing any work.
