Slideshare for Teachers

Welcome to the Slideshare where you can upload your presentations (powerpoint example), documents and videos. There are also other features like finding good information from different topics, make  Slidecasts (presentation with audio) and Zipcast (live presentation of slideshow).

I use Slideshare finding quick information from new topics and also new presentations on social media. I also follow some top names on Slideshare and embed presentation to my blog.  You can make different kind of searches from presentations like most views, latest and favored, most downloads, browse by category and filter by type (presentations, documents, slidecasts, videos.

Part I tutorials presents basic use of Slideshare, Part II show how to make Slidecasts and Part III presents Zipcast in action.

Google Docs for Teachers and Classrooms


This post presents Google Docs use in the Classroom. Google Docs is excellent collaboration tool for teachers, school development and classroom use. Basicly its about collaborative planning and writing, sharing information, working simultaneously with other students or teachers, and in my opinion it should be used on every school.  

I use Google Docs nowdays in writing project plans when network of schools apply funding for projects. We use Facebook closed groups organization and innovating the creative writing process and then write whole application in Google. Some of our student use it in planning school projects.  Lets take Google Docs in everyday use in schools. First there is a tutorial from Josh Stumpenhorst  how to use Google Docs.  There are also  lots of examples Google Docs in classroom.
