Making a Prezi

Creating a Prezi was really fun, but also frustrating at times. Being new to this presentation tool, I was not aware of all the little tricks and how to preform certain operations, even after taking the tutorial. However, despite my hiccups with the software, I found it to be a very interesting tool to use. It makes PowerPoints look dull and boring in comparison, and I'd rather more teachers use this type of presentation in the future. I know that I will use this type of presentation often in my classroom to start discussion and get the students thinking about the topic instead of just copying down verbatum what is on the slide. When students do this I feel like they don't fully comprehend the meaning or lesson of the presentation, and that getting them engaged in the lesson is the most authentic form of teaching.
