<p>@glin23</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I am an online instructor.&nbsp; I use a combination of PowerPoints, websites and whiteboard in my chats with my students.&nbsp; I find the opposite to be true of sharing PowerPoints.&nbsp; I find that if I post my presentations to the students, I then receive less participation in chats.&nbsp; I use the PowerPoint as a supplement to my discussion with my students.&nbsp; You also have to be careful with sharing your PowerPoints.&nbsp; If you are not using an original creation you cannot post a book generated presentation because of a copyright issue.</p>
