I made a Prezi on Credit - I do love the features of Prezi but find them time consuming, only because I do not use the tool enough. It is a great alternative to PowerPoint. I think it is not necessarily better than PowerPoint but it is nice to have variety of presentation tools. Students tire of PowerPoint presentations and Guided Notes. On the other hand, Prezi is similar to PowerPoint because it is used to communicate information. I think the advantage to Prezi is that it is still fairly new and people tend to like "new". The disadvantage is the learning curve but once that is mastered, you can quickly make interesting presentations.
My Prezi is on credit and contains a cute SNL video about credit card debt - one has to keep those high school students engaged!
iste.nets-t standards
This assignment meets Standards 3 and 5. Using new digital tools shows the teacher is innovative and engages in professional growth. Does stick to the same old stuff because it is easy. I think it is important for a teacher to change up the lessons each year -there is always room for improvement. Standard 2 would also be met if the teacher had the students create a Prezi as a final assessment to a unit.
