What if... My Teacher WAS an App

The Wall Street Journal published this article at the end of last year.

Slideshare

Slideshare is an easy, popular, and free tool for putting PowerPoint or OpenOffice slides, as well as many other file formats like PDFs and Word docs, online.
Which means - you can upload your work for easy access (for at home viewing or embedding for blogs and websites) - or you can search work that other people have made public.

You can download and use these presentations in your teaching.

A personal favourite

For a quick introduction to using Slideshare to share course materials, watch this 4 minute Youtube video from instructor D. Caskey.

We are all busy.
So I'll keep it short.
Technology is changing everything around us. We all know it.

If you are interested - then subscribe to this blog - click on the subscribe to widget to the right. Or follow by email... whatever works for you.


I'll aim to introduce you to different ideas related to the use of ICT in the classroom. Some you may know of, some that may be new.
I plan to differentiate and cover as wide a range as possible.
Some, hopefully, may find their way into your teaching or planning or lives.
And please comment and suggest - I would love your input!


To start it off?
