Earlier during the school year, I collaborated on a presentation to the community on what the Iowa Core Curriculum looked like and what effects it might have on the school and the community. My principal used Prezi as a presentation tool. I really liked it and thought the students might really like using it as well. As a PLC, we expressed the need for students to have uniform presentation criteria. Prezi might be one of those tools. Power Point might be great, but this online tool is available to everyone anywhere they have internet access. Groups can also collaborate. I was doing a unit with my sophomores on overcoming adversity. After watching the movie We Are Marshall, I wanted them to choose a real-life person who has overcome adversity. I wanted them to do a presentation and so I did one in Prezi as a demonstration. Mine is only partially done because I used it as a demonstration tool. I am going to try to share the file, but I do not know if it will work or not. I may have to post again to get it to work. http://prezi.com/-jght3tofk0q/red-dawson/

I'd heard of this tool but didn't know much about it. I registered for a free account and have been able to explore. There are three main tabs: Your Prezis, Learn, and Explore. I was able to look at many examples of Prezis under the Explore tab, which gave me an idea of how I might use this tool in my current work. It looks like a good alternative to PPT.

This presentation tool is very interesting. It certainly is different from the standard powerpoint. I find the movement from one slide to another to be very engaging. I viewed a presentation that a teacher used to introduce herself to her class. I could see using this with my 2nd grade class as a way to introduce myself or to tell them about my 10 favorite books.
