Oooo! I'm diggin' this tool. I'm sure there are going to be many ways for me to use this but what I'm thinking right now is what a fantastic collaborative tool for GT resource teachers. I know this doesn't relate directly to a lesson that I will be doing but it is even bigger than that and infinitely more helpful.
Right now I am part of an e-mail group that consists of GT resource teachers who want to share ideas or who want to get in touch when they are looking for some ideas. Sadly it is clunky. We need something more streamlined and I think because of that we don't use it very often (unless we are desperate).
Now I'm in this nice little GT mafia family where several of us are linked because we were past partners. We have been sharing newsletters, study guides, jeopardy games, lesson plans, etc but once again by email. I think it would be so great if we had accounts in slideshare. That way all ideas and materials can be posted and then you can go and get it when you need it. It feels like a personalized document repository with benefits. As several of this mafia are also my friends on facebook, I like that you can use slideshare via facebook. I really hope we can make this happen!
Boogy woogy woogy.

Love the collaboration idea...did you happen to notice that accounts are free???
ReplyDeleteYes, which is great! I've already talked to the "collective" and they think it is a fantastic idea, I just have to get them to do it.
