Prezi!
I decided to do some research on Prezi because up until this class I have never been taught to create presentations on anything else besides PowerPoint. I thought the idea of Prezi was very interesting. I like how they give you a completely open canvas and you are able to do whatever you want with it. Many times when I am making presentations on PowerPoint I get frustrated because I do not feel like I can get very creative. The only issue I have with Prezi is at first it is very confusing. I played around with making a presentation and I found myself getting lost with my own work. The complexity of this website is something I could see being an issue when using it in the classroom. In order to have the class use Prezi I definitely feel like there would have to be a day when the teacher would go over how to use the site and all of the different features it has. Whether or not there would be time for the students to learn about Prezi, I feel would determine if the site could be used in the classroom or not. Even though I could see this being a problem, I still feel like Prezi could be a very useful website that could be introduced in the classroom

I am really glad that you chose to explore Prezi for your choice assignment this week. I had never heard of Prezi before, but after reading your post I clicked on the link to check the website out. I did not go too in depth into the website, but just from the first video I could see how awesome Prezi presentations could be. I really like how the screen is able to flip and fly every which way, I think that would be really exciting for children and something that could help keep them engaged to different presentations in the classroom. Although I have not spent too much time experimenting with Prezi yet, I am glad you shared the name of this technology on your blog so I can take the time to learn more about it.
ReplyDeleteI agree, it would be very interesting for children to look at! Thinking back on it now, Prezi might be better for a techer to use when teaching a lesson then for the kids to actually learn how to use.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jenn! I'm really glad that you chose this as well. It seems very cool and very interesting for the students. I will be spending more time to explore this website and the use of Prezi for the classroom in the future.
