Prezi

What did I do? I created a presentation using the Prezi Website. I first decided what I wanted to do my presentation on. I came up with the life cycle of a butterfly. It was easy to create my presentation from that point on. I used the different tools to make my texts bigger or smaller, to add pictures, to organize the path, etc. I like Prezi better than PowerPoint because I think it is a lot more fun and interesting. I think students would like it better because it doesn't have just boring slides like PowerPoint has. You can make paths form one point to another and it's easily readable. Here is my Prezi Presentation.

What did I learn? I learned that by using the Prezi website I can create a new and fun way fir students to learn. I learned how to make texts bigger and smaller, add pictures, and to create a path for the formation of my project.

How could I use it? I could definitely use this in my classroom. It would be great way to review lessons or to help my students get ready for a test.

Below is my embedded copy.
