Slideboom.com  allows students to use a PowerPoint that has already been created in the classroom and upload it to slideboom.com to easily make this a file that can be quickly embedded on a classroom wiki, blog, or website.  These PowerPoints may also be uploaded into a Google Earth virtual tour, so when a student clicks on a particular location then the student is able to view an informational slideshow as well that correlates with that location.

Presenters at the E-Tech conference continuously commented about how students were motivated by having their work published to the web.  Web publishing onto a class wiki or blog allows students to be proud of their work since the work is readily available for family members and other friends to view at any time. 

This is also a great way of making a e-portfolio of student work throughout the year so students may be able to self-evaluate and reflect on their performance at different times throughout the year.  It should increase confidence in the student's performance by seeing how much the work has improved as the school year has continued.
