Idea: Incorporating Prezi into all presentations instead of the traditional basic PowerPoint presentations
Subject Area: All subjects can benefit, however, I believe business classes can benefit the most since they will learn and utilize Prezi into their daily lives based on the amount of technology at their disposal.
Details: Business classes (or any class) can present their projects using a new flashy and attractive way, discarding the traditional method of presenting using PowerPoint. Prezi is the new way of all presentations that is fun, attractive and more beneficial to you and those watching your presentation
Technology needed: Internet access to download Prezi
Pros:
Ø It’s fun to use
Ø Prezi comes with many attractive features such as zooming or rotating the screen to expand and emphasize your points
Ø Its new and more beneficial than the traditional PowerPoint
Ø Your viewers are more intrigued and interested by your presentation
Cons:
Ø You need to have access to the internet to create an account on the Prezi website
Ø You rely your presentation success based on whether or not internet is working
Ø Takes time to learn how to use Prezi properly
What Needs to Happen to Make the Idea Work – Who is Responsible:
Ø You need to talk to the teacher first to see if your teacher will allow a presentation method such as Prezi
Ø You need to have access to internet
Ø You need to learn how to use Prezi effectively
We have the necessary technology in school and at home most students have computers, also the teacher and students will have the skills to use this because the IDC class helper will guide them through out the process. The students will love the way their slide shows look, and the only down side is maybe the teacher would like a simple way of showing just might use PowerPoint.
ReplyDeletePrezi is really simple tool to use. Its available to the public, not hard to access, and once someone knows what they are doing, making powerpoints become easy as a snap of a finger.
ReplyDeleteTeaching teachers and students to use such a tool may take some time and maybe some sort of easy session tutourial, but as I said before once learnt it will be hard to forget. Also using this idea will help teach students new skills that they can apply in the future. When they have to do a presentation for work, they can just do a Prezi which will make everything more interesting. Presentation is a main importance when working for a company.
I totally recommend this idea. But there may be some sort of thing that we can improve. Probably find some way to add to the use of Prezi and not just teach Prezi just sololy.
