Prezi is more interactive than powerpoint, students get to see the whole layout and are taken through the presentation scrolling from one point to the next. Whereas powerpoint is less interactive, where you just go from one screen to the next and do not get to see the big picture of the presentation format. Prezi also allows the student to be zoomed in on important details while also allowing them to be zoomed back out to see the main topic. Powerpoint is just a linear slide show. I will be able to use Prezi to create presentations to teach them about reading strategies, and Science information. This will help some kids process the content that they are having a hard time learning by giving them a new and interesting way to view it and interact with it. It will help focus in the kids by zooming them in from the main idea to important details and back, without them getting lost or overloaded with information like they may on an internet sight.
Zoomit is going to help me teach kids how to use websites and apps the correct way by allowing me to zoom in and highlight the important aspects of the website and the tools that I want them to use. Zoomit will really help the students that get easily distracted by a lot of text or flashing information that accompanies many websites by allowing me to focus their attention just on the important information they will need to use to be successful.

ReplyDeleteYou can also add collaborators to your Prezis. Some teachers set students up in groups to represent group project work. They could add most kinds of multimedia to represent learning on a topic.
