My First eBook

Creating this eBook was a fantastic learning experience! While I had gained some practice with SlideRocket while completing my TPACK Journey, this assignment allowed me to test my knowledge and enhance my skill-set. I was able to try out new layouts and discovered how to include audio throughout the entire presentation. Gaining experience with the Creative Commons website was also extremely beneficial; I learned how to search for and cite audio, images, and video during the making of this eBook.

Having now created two SlideRocket presentations, I can truly see the benefits of this digital tool in the classroom. A teacher could create a SlideRocket presentation for a lesson that could be viewed in school or at home, or to provide students with assignment instructions. Students could use SlideRocket to create presentations or other assignments, and due to this tool being a cloud-based platform, students and teachers can collaborate!

Due to the fact that you can include text, image, audio and video in your SlideRocket presentations, the classroom applications of this tool are tremendous. Not only can SlideRocket appeal to diverse learners, it allows for the integration of all curriculum subjects. For that reason, I will definitely be adding SlideRocket to my 'technology toolkit' and look forward to testing it out in the classroom!
