4. Things you can do with SlideShare
• It is very easy to upload your own presentations!
• Upload
SlideShare is an online presentation tool. It allows you to create slide shows (like this one) and upload them to the site so that more people can access them. Slide show files are frequently large and unweildy for emailing. Each slide show has it’s own url for ease of access. They can be marked as private or as public depending on your intent. Anyone can use it. It is free. Or you can upgrade to pro for a fee and it will let you do fancier things and upload larger files.
