Thank you. This was a help as I did my first ever Prezi. JoeBod

Prezi is a next-generation presentation tool that allows you to create animated presentations on a virtual canvas.

Another great alternative to powerpoint and slideshow presentations that can be a bit uninteresting. This is a free online tool that can be used to create exciting presentations. Instead of being based on slides, the presenter is able to create a concept-map of ideas/images/text/pdf docs/etc in order to visually engage his/her audience.

Presentations with zooming animations.

Engaging presentation tool that allows a close up view as well as animated transitions.

A Prezi by Ralph Marlon Saravello that describes why technology use in physical and health education is important and how it can be integrated.

I found this PREZI on COPs, PLNs and Connectivism. It gives a short description of each then finishes up by talking about how each is similar and different from the others.

This website is a presentation with an updated version of Bloom's Taxonomy for the 21st Century. It includes suggestions for web 2.0 tools for each department of the taxonomy.

This great Prezi presentation demonstrates how connectivism can be used in the classroom to helps students learn. The presentation explains the WHY of Connectivism in the classroom.

This project has students creating a blog account for a character in a Shakespeare play and updating it throughout the unit. Students each get assigned a character and have to create a blogging platform for their character. They use this site for all of their assignments during their unit. They need to have a blog post for every scene their character is in and comment on other scenes that their character isn't in. They also need to memorize one passage and record themselves saying it on their blog. I like this as an organizational tool for the assignments over a unit. It gives students a good way to interact with each other and practice their writing while they deepen their understanding of Shakespeare. This project is great because it can be applied to any reading that is being done in a class over a long period of time. A Shakespeare play is read every year in high school in my district and this is something I would want to use in my English class to support that.
