Next Generation Presentation Tools

           When I was in middle school and elementary school I remember the only source of presentation we had was microsoft powerpoint. But now for the new generation there are many technological ways to do presentations. Those consist of prezi, animoto, and glogster. Thats why for this blog I chose to just focus on these three types because students are using them more often and I plan to use them as well.

Prezi I learned about this type of presentation in high school when I was doing group project for my medical academy class.I was very fascinated with it every project I had to do I chose to do it using prezi because it was fun and exciting to do and it is very creative.   This type of presentation is also very helpful because unlike some other presentation tools you can zoom in and out, occupy different parts of the screen, use animation, and emphasize clear point over supporting details. I will defiantly be using this as a teacher its one of the best presentation tools.

Animoto I have never heard about this type of presentation tool until now. But from what I can see it is clear that it is a great tool to use as an elementary school teacher. It allows you to use video clips, pictures, sound and text to expand information presented. I would also use this because I will be using a lot of videos, pictures and sound just to get my students more engaged in what I am trying to teach them. This something that students can also use on their own not only for education but on their free time as well.

Glogster this also another presentation I have never heard of before. Just like prezi and animoto it would seem very helpful to use as a teacher. When I was in school there was no such thing as a digital poster just a regular poster which was hand written. I am happy to see that the schools are becoming more creative with they different types of technology. Glogster allows students be very creative combining use of image, sounds, and graphics whit text. These can be shared through e-mail and posted on a  class website instead of being posted on a wall.

Though there are many great points presented in chapter nine I decided to focus on presentation tools because in todays school they are important and focused on more. I am happy to know that the new generation has more technology when it comes to presentation and we are able to entertain and engage the students while teaching them.
