Prezi

Butterfly Cycle on Prezi

Here is my prezi that I created to explain the Butterfly life cycle. I thought that prezi was interesting to use. The product is very different from a power point and allows its users to be a little more creative. I think that students would find this more interesting to watch presentations. However, I thought it was a little more difficult to get used to...probably because it is new. I also thought it was kinda of a pain that you couldn't just copy and paste images from the Internet. Therefore, I used the snipping tool to snip images and save to my computer so that I could upload them. Had I not known about the snipping tool it would have been much more difficult. I did think that embedding videos into the presentation was very easy. The creation of a prezi is so much different from the creation of a power point and I don't really know how to explain it other than it was just different. However even though its different it is very much the same as you can present the same information.

This assignment easily fits under standard 2- Design and Develop Digital Age Learning Experiences and Assessments, bullet a- design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity since we are adapting a learning experience to incorporate digital resources. This assignment also fits well under standard 3- Model Digital Age Work and Learning, bullet d- model and facilitate effective use of current and emerging digital tools to locate, analyze, evaluate, and use information resources to support research and learning since we as educators would be modeling effective use of current digital tools. This type of assignment could fit well under standard 2- Design and Develop Digital Age Learning Experiences and Assessments, bullet d- provide students with multiple and varied formative and summative assessments aligned with content and technology standards and use resulting data to inform learning and teaching if you had students create their own prezi to illustrate the knowledge gained through a lesson or as a summative assignment.
