So first of all sorry that I didn't make it to last night's class, I was very upset. I was looking forward to the tech panel and how teachers are using technology in the class. Unfortunately I have been battling the stomach flu since Friday (pretty sure I got something on Thursday, I spent the morning at a preschool and the rest of the day at different government offices changing my name). Anyways I decided to go to school last night with the motto that I was going to make it through both my classes. Halfway during my first class I realized that was not going to happen. I left at the break to go home and was decided to try and video chat to still get the info. Well while I was driving home I got carsick (while driving... how is that even possible?) and barely made it up into my house from my garage. I did think of everyone while I slept (or what my trying to sleep was) on my bathroom floor all last night. Yesterday I was also in the middle of writing a blog about one of the tools that I have come to use when I got sick. I decided that I wanted to show everyone one of the tools that I have learned to use and love it, and it's not Pinterest. I decided to write about Prezi. I realized that I have come to love Prezi. I have come to use Prezi instead of actual power point. I realized how boring power point is when I had to make a power point for my action research article. I opened PP and realized that it is so blah. I also realized how much I hate boring power points. That would probably be while I don't listen to really boring looking PowerPoint's, probably why I never pay attention to my Tuesday class. I know judging a book by it's cover is bad but why make a dull presentation when it can be exciting? Prezi has become one of my new tools to use. It really appeals to my artistic side I can make the themes change and fit my needs. I can also make fun and interesting graphics. It is definitely a more exciting tool to use than PowerPoint. I also love because it appeals to my practical side. I tend to forget things (like flash drives) so I love that I can access my presentations from any computer! It is also awesome that it is free for teachers. If you haven't used it yet, I suggest that you do!
Here are the three Prezi's that I have made, feel free to look at them, not super exciting but I'm very happy with how they turned out.
Thanks for posting our Prezi. my colleague asked me about our research class and I was trying to explain what our prezi looked like. I was able to show him your page and was very impressed. YAY Research Methods class meets Learning and Technology Class.
