Perk Up Your Projects with Web 2.0 by Dianne Krause--This is a great site to explore web 2.0 tools to enhance presentations and other student projects.

**Slide.com** [|www.slide.com] Easy to use program that allows you to create a slide show with your photos. You can add different effects. You can also include music and video into your slide show. Once you save it, Slide gives you a direct link to the slide show. The slide show can be made private so only those you want may see it. You can embed the slide show into a wiki or website. You can resize the slide show so it could be used as a banner on a web page.

Here is a sample slide show that I made from a few of my RC pictures. I then embedded the code into this Wiki. It took my a few minutes to create. media type="custom" key="2095081"

**SlideShare ** [|www.slideshare.net] SlideShare is a way to share your presentations with the world. Let your ideas reach a broad audience. Share publicly or privately. This is a great way to share a PowerPoint presentation to a large audience without having to send the file to a large group. This is a nice way to remotely play a PowerPoint at another location if you don't have access to the original file. SlideShare does not upload transitions or video. Hyperlinks in a presentation will work. You can make the presentation private that only you or your SlideShare contacts can see it. You can even embed a presentation into a site. It is possible to create your PowerPoint. Use it in your classroom and after you have completed your presentation upload it to Slideshare.net. At that point you could embed the presentation into your class wiki or teacher web page so students could view the PowerPoint later for review.

**YouTube** [|www.youtube.com]  YouTube does contain a lot of useless videos that have no educational value in the classroom. However, there are some really good training videos and other quality informative videos. You can check out the Educational Channel in YouTube or just search for a certain topic. Make sure you view an entire YouTube video before viewing it in a class. YouTube can be embedded into wiki and other web pages.

**TeacherTube** [|www.teachertube.com] 

TeacherTube does a better job at filtering out inappropriate videos. Teachers will find more educational quality videos to use in a class. Some teachers will take student work and upload it also. TeacherTube videos are monitored, reviewed and removed if they are inappropriate.
