For my second independent learning project, I decided to finally give Prezi a whirl. I really like the way that the presentation is smooth and the transitions are nice. I chose a relatively simple template to teach a lesson to Kindergarteners on the five senses. One thing that I do not really like about Prezi is that it is not as flexible and does not have as many capabilities as Powerpoint but I do think that Prezi presentations come out nicer, especially for teaching purposes. I also thought it was really cool that I could embed the video like I did and not just have a random link floating around. I did not even have to tell Prezi that it was a video! I definitely see myself using Prezi in my classroom just because of how smooth and nice the presentations come out and I think for younger grades it is easier to focus in a Prezi because there is not a lot of moving parts.

I love your Prezi! To make it more interactive, try including a game to go through with the class like this one! http://www.abcya.com/five_senses.htm
ReplyDeleteI really like the idea of putting a game in there, for the interactive part of it I embedded the video but I think adding a game would be good as well!
DeleteI loved your Prezi presentation. However I would of included some questions to ask the class. Such as, "What can you see right now?" "If you touch the carpet how does it feel? Soft? Fuzzy?" Allowing the class to have some questions and see if they get them wrong or right will allow them to see if they are understanding the concepts.
ReplyDeleteThose are really good suggestions thank you Lindsey! I think adding questions like those would really engage the kids and be a good way to see if they really understand the material.
