I truly enjoyed introducing my university students to iGoogle and the various benefits it holds for them as undergraduates. The are very excited and are eager to truly put the Web 2.0 tool to work next semester. I received many accolades and thanks from my students for exposing this tool to them. I will be keeping track of them to see how they progress in their future classes.<br />

Let's try this one more time. I have created a Prezi of my Relevant and Innovative Learning Scenario / RILS Plan 2.

It will also expose them to the Prezi tool before they use if for the project.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

This was a challenging project but I think I've got the hang of it now. I did have to reel myself back in once I got started.<br />
<br />
I thought it would be a good idea to use prezi to present the RILS project to the target audience since this is also the tool that they will be using in the project.<br />
<br />
By using prezi to present the RILS to the target audience they can see an example of what they can produce. They can also see the types of images they may include and the ease of developing a timeline in this Web 2.0 tool. This is just the beginning. You'll see the finished product shortly.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">One of the challenges that university students face is that many of them do not know how to type. This is one of the frustrations that they have when they learn they have to write research papers or reports. What we often get are papers filled with typing and other errors. It is my feeling that students need to know how to type and type correctly. If we want students to use computers and the Web 2.0 tools they need to know how to type. In searching through the Web 2.0 tools I found TypingWeb.com and I like it.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

Prezi is a presentation tool and the site <a href="http://www.prezi.com/">http://www.prezi.com</a> contains all of the information and tutorials one needs in order to create excellent presentations. Prezi is very easy to use. I was able to learn and create a prezi presentation for my class in one evening. Let me just relate to you some of the aspects of Prezi. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit6mzQbD5U2otCAENP6hq37ecGtac5vk9iB9PrSeVaqP5PH5ikUbTKA7FezTQdSmbdF24mxozvtIEg62SVH6QbX7gTCgLMnN-VGTSRibpQW2gHQOYxWqYWBGyPY7-SO1YPtm5-Z-2yytw/s1600/Screen+shot+2011-04-03+at+7.48.59+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit6mzQbD5U2otCAENP6hq37ecGtac5vk9iB9PrSeVaqP5PH5ikUbTKA7FezTQdSmbdF24mxozvtIEg62SVH6QbX7gTCgLMnN-VGTSRibpQW2gHQOYxWqYWBGyPY7-SO1YPtm5-Z-2yytw/s400/Screen+shot+2011-04-03+at+7.48.59+PM.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<!--StartFragment--> <div class="MsoNormal">Prezi Desktop: You can create you presentation, edit and show your presentation on your computer without having Internet access. You don’t have to worry about the size of your presentation either, it can be as large as you want and you can store the content on your computer. Prezi saves your work automatically as you create and edit your presentation. Prezi has a native file format, .pez, so you can send and transfer your prezis as .pez files.<o:p></o:p></div><!--EndFragment--> </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">When you create a presentation in Prezi there are no slides as in PowerPoint. You work on one large whiteboard and all of your information, images, video clips can be place anywhere on the whiteboard. You can move, scale, rotate, zoom, and select the path in which you want your presentation viewed.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">You can also create frames to group related Information and images. This is an excellent feature because one side effect of prezi is dizziness. Going from one path to the next within your presentation can cause your viewer to become dizzy so to avoid this you use frames to group information. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Our CBR team T.I.M.E.S. (Teachers Interested in Motivating and Engaging Students) used another feature of Prezi to create one of our collaborative projects, Prezi Meeting. We thanked our team member Michelle for introducing this feature to us. In Prezi Meeting you can edit and show prezis with up to nine other users.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">There are six members in our group. Michelle generated the link and sent it to us. We were also in iChat so we were able to talk to each other and actually collaborate on and work on our presentation in real time. Each person appeared on the prezi screen with his or her names on a little bubble person. (I was concerned because I didn’t see my bubble person but apparently you don’t get to see yourself.) We were able to complete the content of our presentation in a couple of hours in one evening. After that we each created our individual video clips that Michelle later added to our frames in prezi. Once completed Shawn created a ScreenFlow video of our prezi and posted it for our instructor to view. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">This aspect of prezi allows real-time editing and you can work together from anywhere in without having to be in the same room, city, or time zone.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">You can also Add Audio. (I have not as yet created one using the audio feature.) “You can use the phone, Skype, or other application to add audio to any Prezi Meeting session. You don't need any additional web conferencing tools to work together ― just add audio and you're ready to go.”<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal">Those of us you have already created numerous PowerPoint or KeyNote presentations can import and “Prezify” our slides. Change the slides to PDFs and import them into Prezi. You can use frames to isolate content from your slides into groups. You and also use frames to isolate and zoom into specific details on slides. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Another aspect of Prezi is that it is global. It is used by people in various countries around the world, Japan, Sweden, etc. You can even use Prezi on your iPhone and iPad. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The Prezi Community (<a href="http://prezi.com/community/">http://prezi.com/community/</a>) includes:<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">Prezi Blog<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"> Prezi on Facebook<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"> @prezi on Twitter<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"> Flickr<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"> Prezi groups on LinkedIn<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"> Prezi on YouTube<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">Discussion forum where they discuss the features, functions, new ideas, and issues with Prezi.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I have already begun to introduce Prezi to my students and have encouraged them to investigate the tool for themselves. I have also introduced Prezi to my colleagues and they are excited to investigate the tool as well. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Hopefully, you have been inspired to explore this Web 2.0 tool. I will continue my exploration of Web 2.0 tools and share my findings with you in my next entry. See you soon! <i>Now go get Prezified!</i><o:p></o:p></div>Rosetta Cashhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06501701337247625326noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2230436835510508756.post-61254784804860701082011-03-30T18:40:00.000-07:002011-03-31T20:01:29.228-07:00BP1_Welcome to my blog<i>Yim</i><i> </i><i>hotep</i> (May you come in peace)!<br />
<br />
Welcome and thank you for joining me on my journey into the world of Web 2.0 tools and other technologies. I am currently in the online EMDT - Educational Media Design and Technology Master of Science degree program at Full Sail University. This is an excellent and very challenging online program and I am enjoying every minute. In the coming weeks I will be exploring cyperspace in search of technologies that can be used in the classrooms of elementary and high schools as well as colleges and universities. I will be in search of technologies that will serve to motivate and engage not only the students but the teachers as well.<br />

</tbody></table>I'm looking for Web 2.0 tools that will promote critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and improve the learning environment and ultimately encourage students to become life-long learners.<br />
<br />
So, welcome! I am very enthusiastic about beginning this exploration and I know this will prove to be a productive and exciting journey. <i>Let the exploration and fun begin!</i><span id="goog_240778601"></span>Rosetta Cashhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06501701337247625326noreply@blogger.com1
