My Prezi

This week, I worked with the presentation website, Prezi. If you are unfamiliar with Prezi, it takes the place of a PowerPoint Presentation.

The Prezi that I created is directed towards future students that I may have. The presentation explains to these students who I am, why I became a teacher and ways that I teach. In the future I might be able to use this as an introductory presentation of my teaching style. The audience of this presentation would be students in elementary school.

Here is my Prezi, Why Teach? :
Even though I have (briefly) used Prezi before, I was extremely frustrated trying to use it to create this presentation. It takes awhile to get used to the format and for someone who has used PowerPoint for so many years it has been a rough transition to say the least. I felt limited to the given transitions, colors and templates of the template that I chose to use in Prezi and longed for the ease of editing my slides.

On the other hand, I did really love that I could sign onto Prezi and edit my presentation from any location. At one point I had to use a software to convert my voki to a video before I could insert it in my Prezi and rather than download the software, I was able to do it on my husbands computer and then sign on and insert my voki on his computer and then bounce right back to my own and continue working. It was so nice to be able to do this without saving to a jump drive and transporting that from computer to computer. For this reason, I vow to become more fluid with my understanding of Prezi and how to use it so that I use it for presentations rather than my beloved PowerPoint in the future.

I have also included below my symbaloo again with the same links from my previous blog post as well as all of the videos and links that I used in my Prezi.
