Prezi

I am very familiar with Prezi as I have had to use it more than a few times. When I was first exposed to it a couple years ago, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Now, I am not a huge fan. I spend more time trying to get the pathway and the layout just right than I do teaching with it. It is a very appealing visual, however, if I can take an extra few seconds out of planning and preparing than I will. I prefer to use Smart Board in my classroom. For this assignment, I took a Smart Board that I made earlier this week for one of my first grade plant unit and turned it into a Prezi.

When making this Prezi, I followed the ISTE NETS-T 2, Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments. I designed and adapted my Prezi in order to enhance my students learning experience by providing an appealing visual. I also followed ISTE NETS-T 3, Model Digital-Age Work and Learning by demonstrating fluency in technology by providing my students with a current digital tool to engage them. I used this in my classroom as an introduction to an engaging activity for learning about the parts of a plant.
