164 colourful insects
View more PowerPoint from mireille 30100


What did you like about the presentation you embedded? How might Slideshare be useful in the classroom? out of the classroom?

The presentation I chose to embed is called “164 Colorful Insects.”  I chose this presentation because I just started a classroom learning unit on insects.  I thought that I could use this presentation on my interactive white board in order to expose my students to a wider variety of insects.  

Slideshare could be useful in my classroom as a way to explore other classroom learning topics.  It could also be used as a way to summarize and showcase our classroom learning.  As I searched Slideshare, I came across one presentation that had been created by a Kindergarten classroom.  Outside of the classroom, Slideshare could be a useful way to learn more about a personal topic of interest, gain ideas about sharing information about a topic, and just for fun as a way to share in the common interests of other users.

  1. I'm glad you found the kindergartener created Slideshare. Our students are capable of so much more - the technology helps to scaffold, allowing them to create beyond their developmental abilities sometimes. They will grow up with these tools and not think of them as anything magical. They are just tools for creation and expression and to support our work and learning.

  2. What a creative slideshow! Thanks for sharing your discovery. I am completing the 23 things and have also been impressed with the level of student involvement in the technology tools, even at a young age.
