BP#6_Eduslide_Eduslide_Web 2.0 Tools

Eduslide is the web 2.0 tool that I want to discuss. Eduslide is a multimedia web 2.0 tool that allows anyone to create educational content and deliver it online. It is an online management system where you can create your own e-learning modules. Of course this is free of charge. This web 2.0 tool offer different ways of presenting information using wikis, chat, blogs, slides, and tests. Eduslide has over 70,000 software tutorials and hundreds of school education lessons that can be modified. With this web 2.0 tool you can create educational content. Eduslide is a great tool for those that want to teach online classes. When I first entered the site I thought it was mainly for the adult learner. But as I perused the site I noticed that instructors from elementary through the adult learner have utilized this site to develop e-learning lessons for their students. Many of the sites were password protected therefore their students were the only ones that could access the site. You can subscribe to courses or take them free. This site allows instructors to create lessons they want their students to learn and it even has a place for students to type in their notes from the lesson. Instructors can add students, look at reports, and structure their courses based upon content and age level. Not only can you create your own lessons but you can take courses that are already set up. You can make the coursework that you created public or you can keep it private by having it password protected just for your students. There are also video content in eduslide that you can use in your course content. The implication for teachers is that an instructor can use eduslide as a resource for their students for homework or even for those students that are not able to be in the classroom. It also is a wonderful resource for both students and teachers.
