I really like this Thing! I cannot even count how many times I have been to a presentation and the presentor cannot load his/her PowerPoint onto the computer provided by the site. And I'm sure it can get annoying dragging your laptop from place to place and then going through the hassel of getting everything hooked up correctly. I like the idea that we could have a presentation going on our counselor blog also. We do a "Mastering Middle School" workshop at the beginning of the year for parents and their children; many times families are not able to attend because of work issues. To be able to have our slideshow on our website available to them whenever would be great! I think it could really open the communication lines between home and school also.
I ended up making a silly slideshow of my dogs in Slide. Again, like so many of the Things we have been learning about, I think using a tool like this would be so much more appealing for kids to check out. To be able to share picture slideshows of student events, add some music, or even video, to it and then share with everyone is such an asset. This is a great way for teachers to collaborate also. It seems like it would save so much time to have a presentation available for everyone on a certain site, versus going through the process of emailing numerous people, attempting to send attachments, etc. This is one of the first things I will be adding to our counselor blog when we return to school.
