Prezi

I found my first Prezi's a bit confusing to start with and it continued that way until I was nearly finished. I was lucky to have a professional development course running at my school about prezi's to teach me the ins and outs about them.


Positive
Minus
Interesting
-          Can insert pictures and videos

-          Very customisable

-          Very colourful if you want it to be

-          Easy to use once you know where all the tool buttons are
-          
      Has many different  templates to help getting the right set out fast
-          
      Can go back and forward in the  show easily
-         
      Very creativity and fun to make
          Takes a long time to get used to
            
     The commands are in a circular pattern which makes it hard to follow, the graphic interface wasn’t user friendly
           
          On the free version overall compare to the paid version isn’t overly customisable
           
      There are only 3 different fonts per template.
           Turns into a movie or a slide show very easily
         
            In build spell check
           
      Has online tutorials


Again I can find uses for prezi in both discipline areas. To me a prezi is like a powerpoint, you can present something to the class with it. for example with maths if I had given a group assignment and I ask them to present and I can give them the option to present with prezi instead of a powerpoint. I can replace the powerpoints in manual arts as well, the school that I am doing my placement at, they use powerpoints to as an assessment item  as portfolio to go along with their job cards, this shows their learning process. I think that a prezi is not overly nessiary to learning because there are differnet ways of doing what i would use it for but the students would have more fun and be more engaged if they don't have to use the same programs to show their  work.

Here is the link to my Prezi
