Prezi: The Animated Presentation Creator

After attending this year's MACUL Technology Conference, one presentation tool stood out.  Prezi is a Web-based alternative to PowerPoint.  Yesterday I got a chance to create my first Prezi. As we all know, PowerPoint has been used in education for many years, but education was not its inteded use.  It was created to be used in business presentations.  Prezi has a format that is more user-friendly and (better yet) educational friendly.  You can easily create "Frames" which allow you to group like objects (text blocks as well as images) and when you're done, you can:
  • Share the Prezi with someone else, allowing them to edit it or just watch it,
  • Include a public Web link that can reside on your classroom Web site or blog,
  • Embed the Prezi on your classroom Web site or blog (like I did below),
  • Download the Prezi and show it without an Internet connection.  It can be stored on a DVD or USB Flash drive, for instance.
Here is the public link to the Prezi below: http://prezi.com/5qu4cj3kw9av/ 


Using Prezi to Learn Prezi on Prezi


The Prezi site is very user-friendly, and the 3-minute video located on the "Learn" site is all you need to watch.  There you will also find a printable Prezi Guide, as well as other more advanced videos.  

Another place you should definitely check out is the Showcase where many popular public prezis reside.  This is a nice collection and it shows you many effective ways this powerful presentation tool can be used.

I encourage you to dive in and get your feet wet.  Create an account at Prezi.com and start creating presentations in a different way.  You may never find yourself going back to PowerPoint again.

Keyboard Shortcuts: It All Depends on Context (A Deeper Dive)

  Keyboard Shortcuts: It All Depends on Context (A Deeper Dive) It's true. I can write a full in-depth article on just about anything technology-related. Even something as seemingly straightforward as keyboard shortcuts. Who knew how complex this topic could be. You might have wondered why a shortcut like Ctrl+D does one thing in one app or extension, while the same shortcut does something completely different in another. Hopefully, I can shed some light on a bit of the keyboard shortcuts confusion. Here are some things to consider: 1. The keyboard shortcut Ctrl+D in Google Slides or PowerPoint, for example. If you're in Google Slides and you select a graphic object, you can press  Ctrl+D  and it will duplicate the object. This should work the same way for everyone. However, if you are not selecting an object in a slide, but are just in Filmstrip mode instead, pressing  Ctrl+D  will duplicate the slide. And, if you are not in Google Slides but on a random...

On February 6th, I presented " Tech Tools to Organize Your Life " for the Computer Operators of Marysville (C.O.M.P.) in downtown Port Huron.  It had been a while since I'd seen this group.  The last time I presented for them, I was doing Tips & Tricks for Windows 7 .   Their web site is www.bwcomp.org if you want to check out this computer user group, now celebrating its 30th year in existence.

Using Doctopus and Goobric to Manage Assessment in Google Classroom: A Step-by-Step Guide

Published in March 2016, this is one of my favorite posts from our Port Huron Schools EdTech Weebly blog .  What is a Doctopus, you ask? And for that matter, what is a Goobric? I'm so glad you asked. I took a lengthy look at both tools and put together this step-by-step guide/article that I hope will help teachers tie together three great Google student assessment and management tools: Google Classroom, Goobric (a Google online rubric) and student assignment submissions (linked through Doctopus) all in one place.  Here is the article:   ift.tt/1QVW54z   http:// fb.me/7DQ2ITOYU
