I love Prezi...we are soon to be married!
Thought I couldn't add sound, but you can...
Thought I couldn't change fonts, but you can...
I had trouble (and gave up) embedding my prezi into my wiki but not sure why??? Will try to embed it here instead...
OMG it worked....After clicking "start prezi" You have to click the little arrow/play button on the bottom right and choose 4sec. Then it will play...I hope! Will get a friend to try it...you know who you are!! :) Think you have to wait for it to load...be patient!
This was created as a template for an idea that was running riot in my brain. Entries are ficticious. The idea is that after a camp, field trip or similar, students could edit (make them an editor, or allow them entry to your own) and add content to a bubble. Maybe a recount of the journey, a recount of their activities. They can add photos, documents, sounds...the list goes on. The possibilities are endless and I love it because you can write ANYWHERE on the page.
I am a global learner...this is great for me and likeminded souls.
Visual learners...creative types...auditory learners...anyone!!
Students could present one as a portfolio of work from the term or year. Present it to parents at parent/student/teacher interviews.
I would sing "I'm So Excited" by my cat has sensitive ears!
Would it help deepen their learning? They would be using ICT so of course that is great. But I have to put a different hat on...
There would be HOT thinking involved if the task was about creating a virtual tour of your town to persuade visitors to come. Having to think about the types of images, colours, wording, sounds etc are all part of literacy and (ok, I know this is my soapbox, so I won't go on) but really the use of Prezi may just be an engagement tool to motivate them and allows them far more creativity in producing the final product. But think about the fun you'd have marking something like this, instead of a handwritten, chicken scrawled, dog-chewed paper version.
What a great point - more engaging for students AND for those marking it. It works for me :)
