This project was created right after the Power Point project as a way to show how Power Point Presentations, which are starting to be considered out-dated, can be updated and "spruced up" by using this new 21st century technology. Prezi gives users the opportunity to break out of the limitations that other presentation programs have had. The presenter can create meaningful and informative presentations in a much more fun, up beat, and aesthetically pleasing way. Prezi would be a great tool to use in your classroom (both teacher use and student use) because it is something new and different and that always generates student interest. The Prezi I created for the assignment is embedded above and is as the title says, "All About Me!"

Personally, I found this assignment to be one of the most enjoyable ones. Before this, I had no experience with Prezi at all and was not even sure where to begin. However,the website as well as its tutorials are extremely helpful and easy to navigate. Once I started using the program and really got into the creative process, the rest was both extremely easy and enjoyable. I really enjoyed making the paths and having objects and text hidden in other objects, pictures and text. The possibilities with this website are really endless. While this program may be challenging and advanced for younger elementary students, I would love to see it used by students in upper elementary grades and in middle schools. This is a great way to show students that presentations do not have to always be a boring power point or a speech and that thinking outside of the box by using programs similar to Prezi is really simple. I feel like that is a lesson that needs to be learned by everyone.
