I recently looked at two animation type programs for a project, Animoto and Prezi. After looking at the benefits of both I decided that Prezi was a better fit for what I was looking for. The directions to create your collage, as I call it, were clear and concise. The program allowed you to import pictures from your collection or from the web with little difficulty. I especially liked the way you could use the animation device to rotate, enlarge or reduce your titles. The zoom in, zoom out feature added to the presentation. Additionally, you could choose a path or order for your pictures or sayings. Prezi was a good device for this presentation. I will also try animoto for future presentations.
The students in my seventh grade advanced Language Arts class were given a project last week. I gave them several options for creating presentations to go along with their novels. I offered aminoto or prezi to them and I was very interested to see how they would feel about using this type of technology. The majority of them chose prezi for their presentation model. I shared one that I created with them and gave them about a week to create theirs. I am anxious to see what they come up with. I really had to go through the process with them of showing them how to create one, which surprised me. But none the less they are excited about their projects.
