Web 2.0 tool

I like the site, wepapers.com. This tool has a large amount of powerpoints on about every subject. I could use this tool for any content area. The way I could use this in the classroom is by finding a powerpoint that is on the same area of study as the class and they can go there to review the powerpoint. Why make a powerpoint if it is already available? The thing to consider before using it this site is the abuse of the powerpoints available. This could be things like not paying attention in class and "reading it later" which could lead to dropping in grades. The way to combat this is to not tell them the site name but to post the powerpoint on a community site such as Edmodo a few days before the test so they can review.
