This is a snapshot of my Prezi (click link to view final project). It isn't much but I had a play around with moving pictures, adding texts and creating specific pathways to an already existing template. I created my prezi on the uses of this tool in the classroom whilst I examined and explored the tool. I found Prezi a great educational tool to use as it is engaging and simple.
Affordances:
The tool be shared easily online or downloaded on a computer. You can view the whole of the finish product on the one page compared with PowerPoint having several slides.The tool can also zoom in particular areas of texts and pictures for emphasis and you can create a pathway that move from one area to the next in a specific order. Great for giving step by step instructions that young children can view as many times as they like.
Usefulness for teachers:
It is a great to for teachers to use to give scaffold learning, to provide criteria examples or give specific instructions that need to be carried out. The information can be delivers either orally or visually through incorporating voice recordings, images and texts to engage a variety of learners. The tool is easy to use even for those teachers that are not technologically savvy as it provides tutorials on how to use the tool effectively. Also a great tool for educators to organise notes about class topics, discussion and ideas that are in one easy place to use. Teachers can start a Prezi from scratch or they can select an existing template and add their own specific information into it (as I have done in my example).
Usefulness for students:
This particular tool is great for young children as it is visually engaging and easy to follow through specifically designed pathways the outlines step by step specific instructions and resources for a particular task so students can use it as a guide to map out classroom investigations and activities. Students can create and share information and perspectives on classroom projects together or individually.
