Introduction Presentation Experience

From zonkio.com
I really liked the idea behind this project. It was fun to create a multimedia introduction of myself instead of just telling the class a few random things about me that the other students will never remember. In all reality, I remember few things from the presentations, however they were much more entertaining and engaging than the usual method most professors have students do. My partner and I choose to use Prezi as our means of presenting.  I had only been introduced to Prezi during Ed Tech and Design, so it was pretty much a new experience for me. I enjoyed exploring Prezi and learning about it's capabilities. There is SO many techniques and methods you can use on Prezi, the learning is ongoing. I liked the fact that I learned how to use a new program, and plan on using Prezi again in the future. Here is a link for you to view our presentation. Overall, I gained more knowledge on how to use Prezi than I did about my classmates, however I did learn about my classmates still. I really enjoyed watching other presentations, and I found the presentations I learned and remembered the most from where the other Prezi presentations. Below I embeded a few videos about Prezi to broaden your knowledge on what exactly Prezi is. The Prezi website also contains MANY videos for you to explore and learn from. What would you use Prezi for?





CCA Expectations

I expect to learn many new aspects of technology that I can incorporate into my future classroom in this class. I would really like to learn about Project Based Learning and how students respond to it. I also would like to learn how to effectively incorporate PBL into my classroom. Another expectation I have for this class is to learn about techniques I can use to better my students learning. There are many forms of technology, and I expect to learn about using a variety of them. Some technologies I would like to learn about are handhelds, cameras, podcasting, wikis, classroom blogs, and computer software. Overall, I would really just like to learn how to use technology in my future classroom effectively.
