Well, I have decided to learn Prezi for a number of reasons. Here is just the beginning of the list.
- It seems flashy and more fun than PowerPoint. Movement and fun are two ingredients for engagement.
- Future presentation on March 14 and a presentation for EDCI 515.
- Good tool to have in my professional toolbox.
- Teach my 10 year old daughter that PowerPoint in not the only way to present her learning. How can my daughter get on-board with a new way of presenting her learning if I am not also willing to try something new.
So far, I have signed up for a Prezi account and verified it. I have started watching the tutorials. I am excited that the template ideas may act as metaphors for your presentation. Now that is fun! I also like the idea that I can embed videos within the Prezi as well.
The rubber band ball that I selected represents my excitement and trepidation of learning a new technology. I am excited to unravel each elastic as I learn but know that it will take time to really know everything about Prezi. I am not that patient and want to be an expert right away.
Wish me luck.
