I decided to learn how to use Prezi! I've seen a few classmates use it in other classes and I really enjoyed their presentations (a lot more than the typical power point). So I thought ir I could learn how to make the delivery of content a little more exciting, attractive and interactive than a power point I'd be set.
Here's the Prezi I made for my last PTP:
Prezi is such a fast, fun way to put together a presentation. The instructions they let you watch are really straight forward and once I saw those I had no problems using the software. I like that it automatically saves your work as your going along. It's also is really fluid. I can drag and drop things where ever I want. I can group things together and ungroup with ease. Placing photo's and video was a cinch! It's also really visually pleasing. I like this because students can see how information is organized in a concept map, and not always as linear as a power point presentation.
I could see my self using Prezi to organize my own concept maps with a lot of links to resources I'd like to use for specific topics. I would then perhaps use a simplified (clean-up) version for my students. I think I'd easily post these up for students to use as a review. I could also see letting my students add on to the concept map as part of their assignments. I think it would be cool to have students create their own concept map and use it to teach another person as a study aid.
This could be used for just about any state core standard!
