Application (Part 2): Evaluating Web 2.0 Presentation Tools

For our new class, I was introduced to a variety of webtools.  I tried to download/view a variety of them, but couldn’t – perhaps I had Windows XP I was unable to download.  I have to create a new presentation and would love showing my students what I can do! 

I really enjoyed using the Prezi!  It is very easy to use, and has that cute feature of creating my own segment of pictures, text, and layout patterns.  One special feature is that it zooms to the picture – telling the audience what to focus on.  This gives the urgency of creating a very important message to your audience.  I really learned from the easy three stage tutorials: Get Started, Next Level, and Sharing.  It was really easy to learn!  In addition, you can take your PowerPoint and Prezi them as well! This makes Prezi easy to view, share and convert from PowerPoint presentations.

It can get a bit confusing though. Be careful the viewers do not get dizzy viewing the Prezi.  It is free to use and download!

I would definitely recommend Prezi to all of my colleagues.  I think that viewing the Prezi on the Promethean or SmartBoard will be very engaging to my students.
