For the times when we wish to present and share our knowledge experience and skills.
Presentation tools can be technology for both production and presentation. As presentations they are passive nodes of information, where the reader simply sits and listens/watches/reads. The learning and participation is generally in the creation of these presentations in production.
Therefore, presentation technology gives students opportunities, instead of presenting information in a word document/written format, to present what they have learned using a technology of their choice. These presentation technologies offer opportunities to be creative, without too much initial planning and design, as most of them have a basic layout/format already designed and ready to use. Professional looking, clean and crisp presentations can be created by even the most novice of users.
Students can chose from numerous and varied presentation technologies in order to make the final product more effective. This is, in itself, a learning process, as the presenter/producer needs to collate these technologies so that they are working cohesively together. For example, embedding a video into Powerpoint or creating photos and images through Photoshop and then adding these into a MovieMaker presentation or a Photostory.

PREZI
Prezi is similar and a little more flash, and the main difference is that all of the slides are on the first page and it allows the user to use the one he/she wishes without having to go though chronologically.
There is also a huge bank of prezi’s to search and sometimes you can find one that has been made that works for you. BEWARE-the prezy may have been made by anyone so might have errors and also breach copyright |
