PREZI

I had the opportunity to attend a professional growth training focusing on a presentation tool called Prezi. This internet tool allows students to create presentations, that include writing text, drawing, inserting pictures, and videos. The concept is similar to all different types of presentation formats, however, this tool makes it a lot more interesting and fun for the students. The 3d effects are like you are flying through infinite space. The ultimate goal would be to have students make their own presentations about a topic of study and then present it to the class. Although, this would take lengthy time in the computer lab, which we all know is impossible. I would also like to integrate it into my teaching because it allows you to add a lot of dimensions to your lessons with pictures, videos, and linking to websites. If you was not able to make it, you should check it out. http://prezi.com It is also free for education members, and all you need is a email. Students can also work on the project together, while being at two different computers...wow!
