Web 2.0 Presentation Tools
Things that excite students help them focus on
the learning, resources like Prezi(a new free online presentation tool) allows
students to create and learn at the same time. Exposure to this type of media
helps students as they prepare to enter the work force, technology is
integrated into many jobs and exposure to tools like Prezi will make them better prepared. This
tool has an option that allows students to create different types of
presentations and examples to help with their ideas. Using a presentation
format for prior knowledge allows students to discuss what they know and share
ideas. It can be an opportunity to share correct knowledge and address
incorrect information.
Check out the Prezi video tutorial. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jx9d7GPR7Wg
Posters are a common
method of sharing information used in the classroom. Posters are used to
communicate important ideas and as student assessment of knowledge. Creating a
poster allows the student to consider their information and figure out the best
way to include, organize, arrange, and illustrate it. Glogster provides a way to bring the poster
into the 21st century by allowing users to create a digital poster, or glog,
with multimedia and hyperlinked elements to extend and supplement the
information it contains. This tool is user friendly and captivities the users
attention.

Google Docs has a variety of
digital tools that provide teachers with features to help students develop 21st
century writing skills. Google Docs are collaborative and available at any time,
this makes the tool well-suited for digital writing projects that combine peer
editing with cooperative grouping and small group fine-tuned writing
instruction. I have not used this with my students yet but have with my
colleagues. The writing application was a wonderful tool during curriculum writing
and the presentations options look promising as well.
