Slideshare is awesome! I've always wondered how do you put a slideshow into your presentation - now I know. I explored the aspects of using virtual worlds, such as Second Life, in education (Exploring a Virtual 3D Environment and Its Possibilities for Teaching and Learning). I can only imagine how engaged students might be in this type of environment. My thought would be that attendance issues would be non-existent and EVERY would complete the homework! Also checked out the most downloadable, most featured, etc. - all very cool. Many of the ones I particularly liked were not downloadable unfortunately. Although I understand the whole plagerism piece, I say why create the wheel when someone else already has? Anyway, you could show any slideshow in the classroom simply by logging on. Something different to try would be to have students actually pick one on a "safe" topic and put together their own verbal presentation to go along with the slides already prepared.
