This assignment we were to create a presentation using Prezi. It is sort of like PowerPoint but in a different format. Prezi allows you to create your presentation starting with ideas. You can build off of the idea you state or you can hide the idea and not worry about it. Your presentation is all on screen at one time in one big slide unlike PowerPoint in many different and individual slides. I like doing these kind of activities on PowerPoint. Prezi is nice but a little confusing to use. One advantage of Prezi is that you can access the function menu on the left side of the screen throughout the whole event. There is no searching on the toolbar for a certain task. You can add shapes, boxes, or change the directions of the text with just putting the cursor over the object or texts you would like to rotate. Disadvatages of Prezi is that if you are "click happy" (like me) with the mouse you may run into some trouble as not going back to the menu on the left side of screen to change the functions. This caused me a few irritation issues. I do not think Prezi is worse than PowerPoint. I think they are both about the same program and I think too, it depends on if you are efficient in PowerPoint if you will like Prezi or not. The only issue I had with Prezi was I could not figure out how to insert a link into my presentation. I searched help and that was a question posted by two other people. Here is a link to my online Prezi presentation.
The Prezi presentation includes all 5 steps of the ISTE NETS T Standards. Creativity of the presentation for Step 1. Using the new Prezi program and the computer for Step 2. Step 3 allowing other students and teachers to view work for feedback. Step 4 to promote responsibility by allowing a student to create and use their own Prezi site. Step 5 would be allowing students to explore other applications to complete assignments.
