Throughout the entire process of using 'slideshare' uploading powerpoint and audio files I encountered many problems, not to mention linking the two together. I managed to upload a powerpoint presentation however, but with no audio file. It became apparent that Learning Managers must possess a firm grasp on technologies they wish to implement within the classroom. If this does not happen, students become off task, unengaged and doubt the teacher's capabilties which are all round negatives which must be avoided. As students use this tool and begin creating slideshow presentations and other multimedia, they encounter a variety of file types they're not acquainted with. Most students have dealt with text files such as Word and WordPerfect and spreadsheet files such as Excel, but many students are unacquainted with graphic, audio, and video files. Learning Managers must be prepared and plan for any technological problems they may encounter when using 'slideshare' within the classroom. We know that many students are a step or two ahead of us when it comes to technological tools such as 'slideshare' however, it is vital that the Learning Manager is competant in guiding students through tools such as this, in particular for those students who have not been acquainted with such technolgy.
