Week 15 (Final Exam)

1. write up on your presentation: a. briefly describe your presentation and which software you used? our presentation was on "the use of technology in a k-8 science curriculum". we decided to use prezi.com for our presentation because we've used it before for our other presentations in our other classes. we used to images to be our background/layout. in those two images we placed all of the information that we were going to present; including the videos that we wanted to show our classmates. we also included more photos within the two larger photos and some of the links that have interactive science activities. b. on a scale of 1-10, how do you think you did? i think we we a 10 because we put in a lot of time to complete the assignment and we did the research on our topic. c. if you had to do it again, what would you do differently and why? if i had to do it again, i think i should've spoke louder and i would've also wanted the students to try some of the interactive activities if we had enough time to do so. d. describe your experience using the given software? was it user friendly? would you use it again> what were the challenges? etc.. Prezi.com was user friendly and since it's been awhile since i last used it it took me a bit longer to get use to it, but after i got the hang of it it became easier to work with. e. how would you use this in your future classroom? i would use prezi to make my presentations more fun for my students because for me prezi seems like a roller coaster ride and i could also include the links for them to do some of the interactive activities within my presentation.
