Prezi Experience

I chose to explore the technology tool Prezi. In the past, I have created Power points and this year we are using Google which has led to me using Google Presentation. During our Milner scavenger hunt, I was amazed by the Prezi that we watched and became interested in learning more about the tool. The only thing that I really did not like about the tool was that to get more options you have to pay to use it. I really like free things :)

After setting up an account, I thought about something to create. Since I am working on Friendly Letters in my English class, I decided to make a Prezi with the five components. First, I chose a theme. I then began to add the required information for the Friendly Letter set-up: heading, salutation, body, closing and signature. I added text and photos to the Prezi. I did keep thing pretty simple as I was just exploring the tool. I used the prezi to review the letter format. My background knowledge with other presentation technology made this process easier. 

I feel like this tool will be very valuable to my students this year as well as in the future. Currently, you can use this tool for free. This tool can be used for a variety of projects, overviews of information or reviews. I think the visual moving of information is quite appealing to students in this digital world. As a future Media Specialist, this will be a great tool to share with staff and students. A Rebecca Caudill presentation of the current years list of books may be a great way to share a brief synopsis of each title.
