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. 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.

Academic Interaction in Slide Share
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.
