Creating slideshows can be an excellent way for students to summarize their learning, share their what they've learned, and to share their ideas. If you have students that create slideshows that you or they think should be shared with a wider audience than that of their immediate peers in the classroom, the web offers many ways to do that. The following are ten free ways for students to publish their slideshows to the web.

Add audio to a slideshow.  Making slideshows multimedia! Easy to use and has a free component as well as a pay option. 

Great way to create, collaborate, share, and embed slideshows. Similar to slideshare.net. This site seems to connect well with other sites. 

photo slideshow creator, easy to input images into the slideshow, not as easy to embed into another website like a wiki.

A slideshow from the book Field Notes on Science and Nature. I great example of some of the kinds of writing that scientists do. Great examples and a great place to have students to start making observations of their own about the things they see in the world around them. Students need to be allowed to make these same kinds of observations if we want to develop their interest and passion for math and science. 

Multimedia online note taking tool. Students can capture screen images, make audio recordings for notes, or write text notes to accompany drawings. These different media can then be organized into videos!  I envision it being similar to Evernote with more interaction capabilities and with the great addition of being able to create videos of the information gathered. I like this tool!

Storytelling tools. Might be dated, but some are still solid.
