I found Slideshare to be rather frustrating. You can also go see it on Google Docs. It's not as pretty, but more effective.
Or you can go to YouTube and view the presentation video.
It's always funny watching myself on video because I don't hear my accent or realize that I scratch my nose unless it is recorded and played back to me. Overall, my performance didn't seem too bad.
I kept pointing at the screen, because it is always more natural to teach with props than with words and pictures. I should try to have something to handle and demonstrate whenever I have to deliver a lecture.
Clearly, I felt frustrated by the limited available time, and I was speaking to people in the MAT program. Also, I felt more awkward talking to my camera without being able to know if it was even recording. it is much more natural to talk directly to human beings who can provide feedback through questions and nonverbal communication.
Also, I was stuck in one place, which I tend to avoid in the real classroom, so I felt rather awkward.
Almost none of the ninth grade English students in my class today knew the meaning of the word "monastery," so I'd have to define a lot of words and concepts if I were presenting the data to them.
I also learned just how drastically the school district's internet use restrictions can hamper these kinds of assignments.
Technology-wise, I expanded a little bit, but not as much as I could have. YouTube and SlideShare are new to me, and now I know how to play with the format features of my camera.
