Getting started with slideshare is very straight forward, I opted to access it using my google account. Uploading your "contribution" to this site is a matter of clicking, selecting the file you want to upload or you can drag and drop it!! Then, view it, give it a title, tag it, decide who you would like to share it with and publish it. I decided to share using a link:
Before successfully sharing, I did try to upload a powerpoint presentation on "New Literacies." However this powerpoint had videos I made embedded in it and they didn't play. According to the website it doesn't support "direct video uploads" so it would require me to upload it first to youtube. I also tried uploading an infographic but it isn't supported either. I decided to upload a report I wrote about Summer Reading. I needed to convert it into a pdf file before uploading. I think slideshare is a social media platform which has huge potential for use as a promotion and marketing tool.
