Slide ShareOne presentation on this website that I would use in my classroom would be the one on the Dewey Decimal system.

I would use this presentation, because it would help my students learn how to use the library and it would be a fun way to do it with the pictures in the presentation.

Pros: The website is easy to use, the graphics are fun and you can use PowerPoint as well

Cons: You have to log in to use the website and some don’t have access

Comparable to PowerPoint: they are pretty much the same since you can upload PowerPoint straight to it

Voice ThreadFrom this website, I would use the 2nd grade Ispy presentation since it is my grade level and it looks like a lot of fun for my students.

This presentation would improve reading skills and even writing skills since the students read what clues they write and what they have to find in the Ispy

Pros: The website helps motivate students to learn and have fun doing it

Cons: The website is not easy to navigate for new users, the teacher has to have a license to use it in their classroom

Voice thread is fun, but PowerPoint is a lot easier to use

PreziThe presentation I would use in my classroom from this website is the vocabulary lesson plan

I would change the vocabulary since it is a little too hard for my students, but it would be a fun way to learn new words rather than just a paper list

Pros: Prezi is a fun resource for teachers and students and is very easy to use. It is allowed in most schools as well

Cons: none

Comparable to PowerPoint: it is a lot more fun to use than PowerPoint and the graphics are enjoyable
