I liked the idea of creating a Prezi because I figured I could start it and finish it for a unit introduction. Hah! Fat chance. I got lost in Preziland and nearly three hours later I finished. Not only did I start the intro, I searched for You Tube videos, got out my unit notes and "pathed" the silly thing a number of times. The good news is, it's finished. The bad news is I'm not going to only include a screen shot here--I'm also including a link to the Prezi for easy viewing
(link). I so went overboard on this. I think the kids will love the videos--both humorous and a great way to use multiple means of representation. Powerpoint seems "flat" compared to Prezi, if that makes any sense. I know kids like using Prezi and I like presenting content in a format they find more appealing. Here's my screen shot ... but don't neglect viewing that Argument Prezi!You won't want to miss out.
Zoomit
I am having trouble getting a screen shot. When I zoom and mark a page, when I go to Jing it all the cursor does is continue to make little red markings instead of opening Jing. I'll get help on a forum and edit my Thing 11 to include a screenshot of Zoomit.
Prezi can be both fun, creative and also a hug time drain. I, too, like it for some things, but often revert back to PowerPoint or Keynote when I need to build things faster.
