I played with two presentation tools this week.
Prezi.com
I really liked this tool, and best of all it is free. It is easy to use. After viewing the tutorial, the website walked me through creating a simple prezi to practice my skills before making my own. I would recommend using this for our course project because it has many multi-media capabilities that will be engaging for learners. I am excited to start using prezi.com to motivate my students to learn.
Prezentit.com
I was not a big fan of this tool. It too is free, but it was not very easy to use. When I typed in my words on the page and clicked off of them I could not see them. I was not able to figure out how to see them again, although I could still see them on the little slide on the left side of the screen. Also, I tried to upload a photo, but was unsuccessful. I waited a couple of minutes and eventually gave up because it was taking a long time. I would not recommend using this tool for our course project because it is not user friendly and it seems slow.
Diana: Did you have any trouble downloading your Prezi and then dropping it into the dropbox? I can access my Prezi through the web address, however, it will not download.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I had the same problem. Mr. Lyman said to just put the link in the dropbox. So I copied and pasted it there. Hope this helps!
