Week 14 [Prezi]

The use of technology in the K-8 Science Curriculum on Prezi

We chose to base our presentation on integrating technology inthe K-8 curriculum, and created it using Prezi, linking our project to our blog. Our project had multiple images of people of all ages using technology as well as images of tablets (as they are the newest and most popular technology today). We also had a video clip where middle school children used different kinds of technolgy and medical equipment in order to expose them to technology and hands-on activities. We chose Prezi because it allowed us to create a project unique to our liking. I would rate our project with a 10, because we worked hard on finding the right images, designing it artfully, and making it both knowledgeable and pleasing to the eye. If I were to do it again, I would experiment more with the effects and designs I could create; while I am happy with what I did, I think I could make it better. I liked how technologically advanced the resulting project seemed and how easy it was to control. Prezi was fairly easy to use and I would highly recommend the website. I would definitely use the website again, perhaps I will start using it in place of my powerpoint presentations. Sometimes using Prezi was challenging; it would freeze on me, but exiting the frozen program did no harm to our project (thank God). It was just a little aggravating. Other than that, using Prezi was a breeze.
