Prezi

This would be the second Prezi that I have created! whooooohooo! For this Prezi, I decided to make one about myself because one of the classes I taught was Learning Skills. This class was involved in teaching the students responsibility, care, kindness and valuable acts. So one thing I had done was created a PowerPoint on my life to give the students an insight of who I am and that I far more than just a teacher they see seven hours a day. Boy do I wish I had the Prezi when creating my initial slide because the rotating of the presentation and keeping it moving is absolutely awesome. I had a blast creating this Prezi!

As I had mentioned I created a Prezi based on myself that I would integrate into my Learning Skills class, the template I chose was "Stepping Stones," and I called my Prezi "Stepping into Success." What I did was start how introducing myself, talking who most influenced my life, what were big aspects of my life to success and what my future goals are; this Prezi will not only allow students to see a little bit about myself but that no matter how old you get that there are goals always, and to keep striving and pushing for those goals; key to success!!

PowerPoint Vs. Prezi:

Growing up using PowerPoint it is like second nature, I know where everything is at and I can get the presentation done in no time which is an advantage. PowerPoint, I feel is not as touchy as the Prezi, and what I mean that is when touching the Prezi screen things seem to go everywhere, where the PowerPoint is a little outdated and can easily maneuver. The Prezi I feel is a much better tool visually because it is constantly on the go, and with the way society is nowadays, it will keep the students up to speed with how fast our lives have to be. The Prezi also allows to horizontal and vertical shifting effect where PowerPoint does not, it is switching directions and movements, keeping the presentation alive which was a huge factor for me. Being in classes now, PowerPoint is the same- click and the next slide and its the same motion, with Prezi you never know where it is going to go, keeping the excitement up! So, with that all being said, I feel Prezi is the better tool, it will excite, exhilarate, and most importantly keep the attention of the audience!
