It’s no secret I’m a big fan of Slideshare. A few weeks/months ago I had a chance to chat with the folks who run the show and they picked my brain about Slideshare use in education. One concern I had was the large amount of foul language and offensive content that is causing slideshare to get blocked by districts around me.
Well, I got an email from Rashmi saying that there is a new feature called groups, so I am testing it out. I created a group called k12education and the theory goes that anyone can add a slideshow into the group pool.
Maybe, just maybe, if the group stays clean, we can use it as a central meeting spot to swap presos teacher-to-teacher.
What’s going to be funny is if someone starts up another group, and decentralizes it.
Maybe districts would consider unblocking just one group page? Who knows, worth a shot!
