SlideShare is a site that allows users to create, store and share their presentations online. Much like any other social networking site, users can comment on slides, save them as favourites or even download copies for yourself. You can: embed slideshows into your own blog or website (check out the one below); share slideshows privately or publicly and add audio to your own slides.
Learning Resource
The presentation below belongs to sirexkat and is about libraries and web 2.0 technologies.
Discovery exercise:
- Visit SlideShare and take the tour
- Perform a search for any of the following terms: library, libraries, library services, 2.0 and view at least 3 associated presentations
- Create a post and consider: Is it easy for staff to use? Would customers find it simple? Could we use this in the learn.nets and in our workrooms? Do you think that you're likely to use this site again? Would you promote this site to customers? Why/why not?
5 tasks down and 1 more to go :-)
