With PreZentit, all you need is a Web browser to create a presentation with its own URL. You can download the presentation for display without an Internet connection. It has limited functions, but the ease of use makes it worth a try for on-the-spot pitches. 2.

This the website that will allow you to download the program Jing. It lets you narrate activity you are doing on your computer.

As a preface to my presentation on instagram later this semester, here's a little background on the app.

This "Facebook" timeline shows the history of the world through status updates and posts. I plan to use some of these posts when I teach about historical events!

I thought this was a very creative, entertaining way to interpret historical events. I can see it being used to get a very, very general idea of what happened in our history. However, if I were a parent, I do not think I would appreciate this being used as a teaching device. I scanned through the WWI and WWII section and wasn't fond of the way the information was presented. The formatting made the wars seem less serious than they were. But I suppose this project was meant to be amusing. I thought it was much more successful to explain other events; for example, when Earth joins the solar system after the Big Bang, meets atmosphere, and is "in a relationship" with water.
