PowerPoint Who?


Ok, how can you make your power points pop? Well, introducing Prezi. Many of you may have heard of this Web2.0 tool before, some may have seen it in use. However, imagine the engagement when a student is given the opportunity to use it to jazz up that simple presentation that you have them doing on... let's say community. I don't want to commit "assumicide" but I hope you are doing allowing students to get up and present every now and then in the classroom. However, if not, here is something you can use to get them interested without intimidation. I have used it both for student projects and simply presenting the agenda for the day to get the students pumped about what they will learn in good ole' portable 86. This tool is also good for at home assignments. Many of us use Keynote and with the launching of iWorks online, I'll probably use more of it. For those who do not have Macs at home, Prezi can be accessed from a PC just as well.

Just thought I would share.
