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.
