An Alternative to the Posting of Slideshows on Blackboard!!!
I have just discovered Slideshare, a site expressly for the purpose of sharing of slideshows. In the past, I just uploaded Pdf versions of my powerpoints to Blackboard. But students invariably complained about how long these same files took to download. Slideshare is amazing! You can restrict access to your slideshow, and viewers can watch it on Slideshare or download the file. You can even embed the slideshow in a blog!
If you are interested, I invite you to connect to my secret URL, where you can see the slides for my first class on Paleolithic Art and the Chauvet Cave.
