ed 480 on Prezi

1. Write up on your presentation
a. Briefly describe your presentation and which software you used 
we used Prezi as our final presentation. it gave some wonderful templet that we can use. instead of usual and normal powerpoint presentation, we can try new and technological presentation format. in addition it is free in the internet. we just simply log in the site and choose a templet that we want to use and put some information in there

b. On a scale of 1-10, how would you think you did? 
(8) I will give 8 out of 10. it looks technology and wonderful. but it is little difficult to the first user. i had a difficult time to adjust and fit. but the structures and we can access anytime and anywhere if we have internet.

c. If you had to do it again, what would you do differently and why? 
I want to make it more dizzy. I mean I want to make more interesting! my project was well organized but there is no creativity as I believe. because i adjust this software, I will put my creativity in this presentation.

d. Describe your experience using the given software? was it user friendly? would you use it again? what were the challenges?
it was challenge to me. it took much time to finish and adjust. I tried more than 3 times and worked. and one more thing is we need internet if we want to use. for example, ppt does not need internet we can revise anytime and anywhere, however prezi definitely need internet. i this software is difficult to use new user

e. How would you use this is your future classroom?
i do not think that i use in my future classroom. this is fancy way of PPT and i do not have to cover these additional software. also it is little difficult to elementary school students.
