Slideshows

Articles @http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sm5xu9ZCcg This is a video of an elementary teacher using Prezi in her classroom. I liked this video because she was showing how easy it was to use and how muched her students enjoyed her presentation because it kept their interest. I also liked because she was using her Prezi presentation on a SmartBoard which made it look even easier to use.

@http://www.creativeeducation.co.uk/blog/index.php/2011/11/using-prezi-in-the-classroom/ This article is talking about what Prezi is. The main thing that this article talks about how the author believes that Prezi will be used more the more PowerPoint because of all the things that it can do. The author talks on how it is more engaging because it can zoom in and out.

In class we explored three vary similar programs to make a slideshow presentation. They were Google presentations, Open Office Presentation, and PowerPoint. All three of these programs will make a nice slideshow which could be used on any computer. One thing that is different about Google Presentation is that you make it on the internet and can share it with other people right away. THis would be nice for group projects. You could just allow access for your group member to work on it so you would not have to get together and meet anymore. Open Office is a free download from the internet. PowerPoint is a program the schools have to pay for which is getting expense.
