Incorporating technology into the classroom has been a requirement for my school district. Teachers are encouraged to use as much technology as possible. Smart boards have been added to all math and English classroom. Unfortunatly, the science and history classrooms have been forgotten. Using Web 2.o presentation tools may be another way to include technology without using the smart board.
I decided to investigate the slide share website and the googledoc website. I found that each website user friendly. The Google doc webpage offered a familiar format. I was able to begin using the documents instantly. Slideshare is a website that I have used to pull slides presentation. It contains a lot of information but requires a fee to have access to all the slides presentations. I like both websites equally. One obstacle that I face is the fact that my school district limits access to Google and other unknown web pages, so I will not be able to access either webpage at school.
Thanks Angela for the information you found on GoolgeDocs and Slideshare. It appears that you found them user friendly which a requirement of mine seeing that I don't do well with technology. I have learned a ton this past year and really enjoy all that I can do now both personally and with my students and I owe that to both this class and my colleagues that have provided me with great reviews of things that I would have never known to be out there.
