Thing 18

I chose to look up a SlideShare presentation on the Dewey Decimal System and I particularly searched for a presentation that made understanding this organizational system easy. I have made presentations on this topic myself, but chose this one because it is one I can use with lower grades and is easy to understand. I liked how they used pictures to help present the concept of grouping books by like topic. The presentation below is what I found:

Searching for Books - Dewey Decimal System

I think SlideShare will be a helpful tool in the classroom because I can search for pre-made presentations, by topic, and review them to choose the best one knowing that others have felt comfortable enough to post their presentations online. I also like seeing how many people have viewed the presentation so I can see which are most popular by the topic I searched.

Out of the classroom, I saw some fun, interesting and inspirational presentations that I would enjoy viewing and perhaps forward to friends and family.
