Thing 11

I uploaded a presentation for my Problems in Residential Design class to see how slideshare worked. It can be found at this LINK if anyone is interested. Of course, I design slide shows to give visual reference to my lectures, so I don't know how "readable" or "interesting" it is without the notes. (If it was ever interesting in the first place).

Again, slideshare is a handy place for storage of slide presentations, similar to what we've learned earlier, but I wouldn't find a slide show on this site to share with students. I did look at the winners of last year's slide show competition and did see some new ways to think about the design of a slide presentation, which were much better than the colorful backgrounds and dynamic slide transitions offered by PowerPoint. I'll be honest, I never considered creating a slide presentation as a design problem before, and because of this exercise, my later slide shows will be much better (I hope).

Again, my recommendation would be to view slideshare to improve your own presentations, but I didn't feel compelled to add all (or many) of my presentations to the system. I can't imagine spending a lot of time looking at this stuff, but that may be because I missed the day in kindergarden when they discussed sharing.
