SlideShark: convert your PPT to your Ipad format

freeware

I’ve been using my Ipad for a year and I couldn’t be happier with it. There are lots of apps that I use for fun and there are some more that I use to help me in my daily teaching. One of them is SlideShark, created by the same people who created MyBrainShark(post here). SlideShark is a free app for converting and viewing PPT files on your iPad. SlideShark converts your PowerPoint files without losing any of your original formatting, transitions, or animations.

To use SlideShark  you need to register but don’t worry it’s free . Then , just upload your PPT files  and  SlideShark will convert the files for you. Instal  the free SlideShark app and  you can access your converted files on your iPad at anytime and display your presentation in the classroom.

Lesson Plan: New Year Resolutions

Lesson Plan: Advanced, , , ,

Happy New Year to everyone  and good luck with your New Year Resolutions. I have a dozen  resolutions myself  but I no longer believe I am going to keep them. The title of this post is not what one might think it means though it’s true that I have had the same New Year Resolutions for quite a number of years. But I want to be positive, start off on the right foot and mentally prepare myself for, this time, keeping them. Time will tell!

Why the title, then?  There is a very funny lesson that I prepared two years ago called Bridget Jones’s Diary that has to do with Resolutions. A few days  I got a comment to a post in this blog where I introduced this  lesson (here) and so I thought I might show it again .
