Slide+Share

=[|Slideshare]= This website is extremely useful as a teaching tool. The website allows students and teachers to share PowerPoint slides and ideas that greatly aid in communication and collaboration. These slides effectively give everyone examples and ideas of how to create and format their own PowerPoints.

Creators and Investors: Rashmi Sinha, Jonathan Boutelle, and Amit Ranjan are all co-founders of the website. Venrock is a prime sponsor of slide share. Venrock is one of the leading venture capital firms in Silicon Valley. Venrock was founded in 1969 as the venture capital arm of the Rockefeller Family and has about $2.1 billion under management. Other sponsors include David Simminoff and Dev Khare

Description: This tool allows it users to create presentations, documents, and/or professional videos. After creating these things the website allows users to post them for others to view. This website seems to be mimicking youtube, the difference being this website seems to be more professional. However though it appears to be more professional, I do have some concerns about what kind of presentations, or videos might be allowed onto this website. I would need to do further research to be sure the site is completely safe before advising students to use it.
