Internet Tools/Resources
 
SlideShare is a platform for sharing presentations, documents, videos, and etc.  SlideShare was acquired by LinkedIn in 2012 for the sole purpose of business or marketing.  Today, SlideShare users include Business Owners, Educators, Lobbyist, Marketers, and Sales Professionals.
The benefits of SlideShare are: it is free to use, easy to use, reach a large professional audience, builds authority, and includes analytics.  In order to access SlideShare one must create a LinkedIn account. 
The homepage can be accessed using this website, https://www.slideshare.net/.   The explore tab on the homepage provides a variety of topics to access.  The education topic provides presentations about Literacy, Assessment, Strategies, Technology, Integrating Games Into Lessons, Higher Education, Leadership and Administration for educators and many more.  The Literacy presentation displays slides of Guided Reading strategies and information about the importance of discussing and talking about independent reading books.  There are additional resources provided to enhance the strategy provided such as charts and tracking tools to monitor student performance.
The homepage also displays presentation courses and PowerPoint courses that requires an account set up.  There is a free one-month trial to use for the courses.  After creating my LinkedIn account, I am now able to upload presentations to share with users.  SlideShare enables educators to share and access presentations with research-based information, videos, images, and resources that can enhance learning.  This is another tool that educators can benefit from.
