Thing #21 Slide Share

I created my slide share on Ning, because I thought that it was a great resource for teaching to use when planning lessons for their students. However, I noticed when I uploaded my picture from my computer to SlideShare, the transitions didn't come over. That's good to know for future SlideShare projects, that way I won't waste time finding the "perfect" transition. PowerPoint presentations have been used for a long time now, and SlideShare can help make those PowerPoint accessible to everyone! It beats having to email the PPT file out! You can just share the link! You can use SlideShare in the classroom to introduce a topic, or you can have the students create a SlideShare presentation!

While exploring SlideShare, I found some great slide shows on animals. One I found was on funny animals. I thought that my first graders would get a hoot looking at all the funny pictures. But, to incorporate it into the standards, I thought they could pick an animal and write why it is the funniest animal of them all. This ties into the persuasive writing standard for this nine weeks, as well and the science standard. You can see all the funny animals below!
