Prezi
The Prezi tutorials were very informative. I would recommend watching these prior to getting started. It takes a little getting used to but if you spend a little time with it, you will learn how to develop a great presentation. The special features of Prezi allow you to layer objects and link objects together. As far as reliability I think it would be a great tool to use in the classroom for content presentations. Prezi is available online and it is free. The Prezi website provides you with examples that you can view to get ideas for your own Prezi presentation. You can upgrade your subscription to improved versions, but the free subscription is all you need to get started. It is accessible form home, and at school in the classroom. Prezi allows you to add animation sound and video clips to your presentation. I think that Prezi would be engaging and motivational for students. It is a great way to collaborate with other educators.
Wiki
I like the idea of using Wiki to communicate with other educators. Wiki allows you the opportunity to work collaboratively with others using the same document. It makes collaborating quick and easy because several different people at different locations can edit and add new information to the same document. There are free tutorials on line as well as free subscriptions.
I have experience with Wiki and agree that is a great tool for collaboration, but not so great for presentations. It is a place to download a presentation that has already been developed in order to share with others.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the Prezi website. I agree that the tutorials should be viewed before beginning a project for this website. I think that anyone who has a basic background in a program like power point could easily get used to how Prezi works. I have enjoyed the start of my class project, and I am so excited to use Prezi in my classroom! What program did you end up going with for your class project?
