Just a bit of catching up as we discuss Slideshare.
I don't really like Power Point presentations. Many times they are so badly done, with too much information on each page, and deadly dull. Sllideshare presents Power Point from all over the world, and most that I vewed were in the dull and badly done categories. I think the Death by Powerpoint one was amusing and very apt.
I can see some possibilites for this application: If you're a teacher or instructor, you can load your class presentations on the site for your students to use at home. Most Colleges and Universities have a similar program in Blackboard.
I'm wondering if this would work in libraries for an easy tutorial in using the Library's databases. Usually they have so many steps that users need instructions.
Ironic, isn't it -- that Death by PowerPoint was the entertaining one?
ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea about the databases. I have also gotten suggestions to use it for instructing our patrons on how to pay fines or place holds.
