Slideshare Software

October 22, 2008. During our class for ED 105 Introduction to computers for teachers, our class was to present what we have been working on last week; a powerpoint presentation using the online source www.slideshare.com. The main objective of this presentation was to see whether or not we understood the concept of using a slide show program from our computers and then uploading it into an online slide show software. The information that we used during this class assignment was an encyclopedia or an online encyclopedia. On my part, I used an online encyclopedia called Encarta. My topic was about music for it is my passion. First, I used the powerpoint program in the Apple computer. I have to admit, I did have problems using the Apple for I was not that aware with its feautres when using powerpoint; therefore, I had to ask help from a classmate. After finishing my information in the powerpoint program, I had to sign up for slideshare.com for it was a must; required for it is the site that we used to view our slideshows with. After signing up for slideshare.com, I uploaded my powerpoint slideshow presentation. The last step for this assignment was for us all to present it infront of the class. In this activity, I learned that Microsoft Powerpoint is not the only slideshow software that could be used to conduct meetings or presentations. As a teacher, powerpoint would be very useful in terms of lecture and conducting of class projects. It is very beneficial in terms of teaching for it is easy to use and straigh to the point. In other words, if you want to conserve more paper, then using slideshare is very beneficial; you do not have to pass papers in class to do your presentations. In conclusion, Microsoft Powerpoint is not the only software that allows its users to create slideshow presentations, but there are more than one online.

Slideshow Presentation Softwares

Hello everybody!!!! Today is another interesting day of ED 105 Intro to Computers for Teachers. October 08, 2008 is our presentation day for the Slideshow Presentation. First and foremost, before beginning this group assignment our instructor gave us each group a website to us; Picturetrail.com, RockYou.com, Slide.com, and Photobucket.com. Aside from the site was also a rubric to follow in order for our group to deserve an A. The main objective of this assignment was to be in groups of 4. In our group, we had to come up with a slideshow presentation; the slideshow had to deal with a story. After getting in groups of 4, our instructor then gave each of the 4 groups in class a website. The website contained a slideshow software and we were supposed to use it. Our group was assigned to Rock You.com. Our story was about a magic pencil and notebook. The magic pencil and notebook only worked on our main character Ambulo Blunt if and only if he puts in effort into reviewing. However, after discovering that his pencil and notebook had powers, he abuses their powers and procrastinates each and every day. Rock you was amazing, it was user friendly and had alot of features. Rock you allowed us to put a background music for our slideshow. The unique thing about rock you is the fact that it allows you to change the skin of your slideshow. For our slideshow, we used a plasma HD television skin and at the same time an old movie effect for our pictures. If you are interested in looking at how our slideshow looks here is the link to it http://www.rockyou.com/show_my_gallery2.php?instanceid=124218292; highlight this link and copy it and then paste it in your address bar. Comparing rock you to the other online slideshow softwares, I would prefer rock you to be used in class. It has all the features that a person needs in order for them to meet their expectations when it comes to slideshow presentations. In conclusion, all the 4 groups that participated in the online slideshow presentation did extremely well. Each presentation was unique, interesting, and impressive. In addition, online slideshow softwares are great. If you are tired of using your Microsoft Powerpoint software, there is always another option such as Rockyou.com and Photobucket.com; both sites are free and easy to use.
