Prezi

Hello Everyone,

So this week we are doing interactive presentations through powerpoint, Prezi and Glogster.
This Blog is about Prezi, which is an online canvas used to create non-linear presentations incorperating video, images, sound files and so much more. So I created my first Prezi today about Marine Turtles.

Pluses
- extremely easy to create
- Affordable as it is fredd
- Interactive between students and teachers, non-linear
- Extremely visual
- fun to work with and present
- Creative visually illustrations
- used for group presentations up to 8 people can edit a Prezi at the same time
- access anytime

Minus
- I didn't know about this sooner :D
- anyone can comment on Prezi, which could discourage students if it is negative

Interesting
- the non-linear presentation
- zooming in and zooming out
- visually attractive

Prezi's are a way to get creative and customise different relationships with a non-linear or linear format. Abrams & Baker (2012), stated that if Prezi was used excessively or ineffective ways could diminish learning, while there is a definite place within education it is not a the dominate tool to hence the learning experience. Prezi serves as a development for professional, personal and social circles (Chicioreanu, 2010), promoting a self-learning and creative learning environment.

Until next time
Nikki
