Prezi

This assignment was to create a Prezi.com presentation.  First, I created a Prezi account, clicked on buttons to inserted text, and images.  Students in my English 9 collaborative class created a Prezi presentation.  They enjoyed this activity.  It was a challenge for them, but they accomplished and presented to the class.

How was this assignment different? This assignment was different because it required working with various buttons. How is the same? It was the same were you learned hands on experience with various buttons. Is it better? It was better for me because my students have already experience this assignment.  Is it worse? No, it's not the worse, but the zebra tool may be a challenge.  Why? Students like to work with hands on tools.  This was one of those tools where students can learned and be creative.  Advantages? The advantages are hands on experience and creativity.  Disadvantages? The disadvantage may be for students who do not like to be creative or hands on.   ISTE NETS T - This addressed the standards for learning, leading and teaching in the digital age with creativity, and online learning.

Photostory

Today’s assignment was to create a Photostory.  I created an account with Pecha Kucha, www.pecha-kucha.org/presentations/, build my presentation in PowerPoint and saved as jpg.  This turned my slides into images.  Next I download Photstory, imported my images, and set the motion and duration to 20 seconds per slide.  I have two or more slides that would not remain on 20 seconds, but everything still worked accordingly. I had problems with my video. My students would like this assignment.  Enjoy!
