1. Uploading Content to SlideShare
Senior Project Spring 2012
The Unquiet Library
1. You will need to register an account with SlideShare. Please go to
www.slideshare.net . Click on “sign up” in the upper right hand
corner of the page.
2. Before you begin uploading any documents or files, you should
save all your work in a single folder with clear, accurate
descriptions so that you know exactly well your files are.
3. To upload a file, select the file and press the orange “upload”
button at the top of the screen.
4. On the next screen, press the big orange “upload” button.

2. 5. Now browse to the file you want to upload (these will be Word
docs or PowerPoint files).
6. As your document uploads, do the following:
A. Give your document an official title. I like to type these out
ahead of time in Word with correct spelling and capitalization so
that I can just copy and paste them into the title box.
Example: Buffy H. Senior Project Work Log 2011-12
B. Tags: we will use senior project 2011-12
C. Category: Choose “education”
D. DO NOT check the “allow file download” option; leave this
unchecked to protect your work
E. Description: this box is optional—if you would like to provide
a brief description of the document, you may.
7. Now press “save changes” to the right of the description box.

your document.
9. Now go to your wiki page for your project and click “edit” at the top
of YOUR page.
10. Press the “widget” button.
