Sharing teaching materials, science images and SATIS revisited

Slideshare

This website lets you share your presentations with the world, by uploading PowerPoint, OpenOffice or PDF presentations. You can choose to share your material either publicly or privately, with colleagues or on intranets or private Internet sites. Without registering you can browse, search by topics and view publicly shared resources. By registering for free you can download any of the publicly shared material.  

This particular link is to the 'SlideSpace' of the 2008-09 Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) teacher fellow Anthony Hardwicke. This contains 21 presentations and PDF documents to support Today in chemistry, a 365-page chemistry calendar which highlights anniversaries in chemistry. There is also a series of presentations on KS3 mini-practicals designed so that simple instructions for each practical, accompanied by graphics, appear step by step with a click of the mouse. Practicals in the series include burning magnesium, the reaction between calcium and water, endothermic and exothermic reactions, displacement reactions and neutralisation.  

A quick search through the whole site didn't reveal many other areas of interest to chemists. but, if more of us started to use it, the site could become a useful resource for disseminating teaching materials.
