Elaine Talbert (etalbert) has been performing a real service to SlideShare users as she has been collecting and posting the best and most relevant work in her 'web 2.0 tools for effective teaching' group on the site. The scale - 661 members, 1069 posts, 1426 slideshows - is impressive. But the proof is in the posts. I've been subscribing for several months. Here's what I found in my RSS reader today (about four day's worth). Some are btter than others, but none is bad, and all are worth viewing:
