I think SlideShare could be very useful in my classroom. The easiest way to begin using it would be searching for particular biology topics and sharing interesting PowerPoints with my students. I hope that I will also be able to share my students' PowerPoints as well. My biggest concerns with it will be privacy and accessibility.
What's especially nice is that you can invite students to evaluate the PPTs that you find, and to critique them. Use them as models for what's good and bad about PPT, and hopefully the students will likewise build better PPTs for their own assignments.
