Japan's Disaster



Concerned citizens from around the world have been uploading Slideshare presentations with data and photos to communicate the devastation that the earthquake and tsunami have created.The Slideshare blog has many presentaions from the scientific and economic community which will be of interest to geography/environmental science teachers or those of us who just want to keep up with unfolding events.

Slideshare is a very useful Web2.0 presentation tool that allows you to share presentations.Once a class account has been registered on Slideshare it is possible to show student powerpoint presentations online.
Not only can you create presentations to share on Slideshare you can also search for presentations that you might want to use yourself.You might have noticed that I have embedded many Slideshare presentations that I have not created myself into my own blog posts.I love this "sharing aspect" of Web2.0 tools which gives you so many quality resources at your fingertips.They also make your blog so much more interesting and informative.
