Task 9 Presentation Tools

There are several slideshare presentations on the topic of “Tips for a Happier Life” at
http://www.slideshare.net/ohteikbin/10-great-tips-and-humor-pics
that have pithy sayings and humorous graphics. I can see choosing individual slides from these for paragraph starters.
“Creating Games at School” has a slideshare presenting a number of games and game-like activities that students can both play and create to share. http://www.slideshare.net/Pepa99/creating-games-at-school
Students can create and share (for free) vocabulary word games such as http://www.wordduck.com/
They can work crossword puzzles and create their own at http://www.slideshare.net/Pepa99/creating-games-at-school
At http://classtools.net/education-games-php/quiz/ students can create their own Arcade Game quizzes.
There is a very understandable and greatly enhanced with graphics slideshare on “Traits of the Archetypal Hero” that will make a great introduction to The Adventures of Ulysses read by our sixth graders http://www.slideshare.net/chrismurban/hero-archetype
There was a lot of useful information on the slideshare “Writing Workshop.” Ironically, the script in which the information was typed ran words together, and it was very difficult to read. http://www.slideshare.net/smacksoud/writing-workshop-1698055
The slideshares on the suffix –ment http://www.slideshare.net/elkissn/using-the-suffix-ment and prefixes http://www.slideshare.net/elkissn/prefixes-1703414 are both worthwhile supplements to Wordly Wise study.
The practice and game like feature of the slideshare on irregular verbs makes it particularly appealing http://www.slideshare.net/AnnaK/irregular-verbs-group1
Three interesting overviews on dyslexia are http://www.slideshare.net/margaretur/dyslexiabex

I explored the slideshares above and also viewed Sandy’s Wangari’s Trees of Peace, Museum Box on Egypt, Embedding Code, and 280 Slides tutorial.
