I began my evaluation of the web tools with Prezi. I have heard of this website before, but never used it for myself. After watching the tutorial and trying it out for myself, I really enjoyed how the presentations zoom rather than being more linear like typical slide presentations. I think this would be very beneficial for visual learners. You can even collaborate in real-time with others anywhere with an internet connection!
Pro: Search through pre-made Prezis & tutorial videos
Con: Pay to use upgraded features
If you can use Power Point, then Prezentit is a breeze! This tool is web based so you can access your presentation anywhere...no software needed. The format is simple and easy to maneuver. With one click you can add/ delete images, easily cut, copy, resize and send forward or back on your presentation slide. Like Power Point, Prezentit allows transitions between slides and you can preview before publishing.
Pro: Choose your language & share online
Con: Not many bells and whistles
Finally, I tried out Museum Box. I was immediately drawn to it's creative title and the website did not disappoint. This website is like a virtual show-and-tell allowing the creator to select a topic and add images, text, videos, and documents to a box. Multiple layers allow for more or less information to be added (a great differentiation tool). After exploring this site more, I may decide to use this for my presentation instead of a Prezi!
Pro: Creative!
Con: Login required to add videos and links
I am looking forward to exploring more tools that I can use for my project, classroom instruction, and with my students!
