Powerpoint on Steroids

The final project of the Literacy and Technology class was a Wonders of Web (WOW) presentation.  The topic that I chose to present on was Using Technology as a Remedial Resource for Student Literacy.  I  chose this topic because of the overwhelming impact that literacy has on all aspects of one's life.  Upon beginning the class I did not realize the impact that the right technology can have on one's learning.  This project and class has made that impact clear to me.  I can not wait to be able to use what I have learned.

We had to choose a tool to present with so that all students could see.  This involved posting the presentation link to the final Webex class for all to see.  I had never posted a live presentation to an online class.  It was seamless; what a great tool.

The presentation tool that I used was Prezi.  This is one of a host of tools that could be used.  Prezi is not static.  It makes a presentation come alive with its three-dimensional affect of slides sliding into each other from all different directions.  I was pleased with the effect.  I feel it was engaging.  I was happy with the flow.  Just click the button at the bottom of the presentation window to advance the slides.  Check it out and tell me what you think...
