The smart folks at Zurb have come up with a clever app. This free Web-based app, called Reel, allows you to quickly collect thumbs-up/ thumbs-down votes on each slide or image. . Think of it as Slideshare with a "likes" feature added.
So if you are working on a Powerpoint, a series of images, or even PDF's and want feedback from friends and colleagues without having to email the large file around, think about uploading to Reel. What a great way of crowd-sourcing feedback.
For instance, here are my "Tricks of the Trade" lectures slides for the upcoming ACEP meeting in October. See how you can give a like or hate vote to each slide. Feedback is welcome but alas they already made me turn in the files a long while ago.
Note: This only works for still images, so movie files in my Powerpoint slides don't work.
Love the collection Michelle! How bizarre is that I did a shift the day before I came across this publication and I had four patients in the department for whom four of the trick could have come very handy!
ReplyDeleteI find that for a lot of docs I showed the CVC guidewire "straightening" trick to it is still difficult to grasp the concept. Even when I showed it step by step and literally placed the fingers where they should be on the hand... It is very well described in the Robert's and Hedge's Clinical Procedures in Emergency Medicine...
Great Blog, thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom!
Yes, the guidewire straigtening trick is always a crowd-pleasure. I too had a hard time describing the technique to others. that's why I made the short video. I think you may have posted under the wrong entry:
