Standard Three

Reflection This week’s assignment gave us the choice to use Power Point or Prezi. Since I am already very familiar with Power Point, it was tempting to just make a presentation in this program. However, I am not in this class to preform things I already know, but instead to learn new things. With this in mind, I decided to investigate Prezi. The typical frustrations of learning a new program made it tempting to just revert to good old Power Point, but I pressed on and through and finally came up with a pretty nice presentation. The best part of this experience is I see countless applications for curriculum in the future, and I’m so thankful I decided to go with Prezi.
