Prezi

I have definitely enjoyed this past Social Media class, though it was definitely a challenging course for me!  Prezi is the last tool that I have chose to do for our last 'Tool Review'.  My Prezi entitled 'Ojections to Technology in Education'  features quotes from long ago objecting to such technological innovations as paper, pencils, pens and calculators!  I plan to use this Prezi at the beginning of a future 'Terry's Tech Tips' presentation about social media.  I think it will set the right tone for some open mindedness, which is very 'out there' for the teachers at Swallow Union.  I did have trouble getting this Prezi to loop, the one tool I couldn't find while searching.  If anyone knows how, I would love to know!

Initially, I anticipated creating this Prezi might be difficult.  Several members of my cohort who love new tools did not give positive feedback.  I can see how Prezi would be a difficult tool if you didn't take the time to watch the tutorials.  It wasn't that difficult.  But, I seem to have adapted to the very linear mindset of the power point program.  Prezi is not linear, so it requires a different perspective.  I do think it is a good tool, particularly for storytelling.
