Prezi and Xtranormal

Starting off with Prezi, I was amazed at how much more this website has to offer. I especially enjoyed the different ways that you can use to modify the prezi that you are working on. It makes things more interesting compared to using powerpoint and it is also very user friendly. With Xtranormal, I was having fun working with the program. It was easy to use once I got the hang of things. I think that both websites or programs should also be easy for students to use and to be creative. I would encourage my students and other people in other professions to use these websites and programs.

Soledad Camacho's Smartboard and Clicker presentation

Last week on the 26th of November, I attended a presentation at GTC held by Ms. Soledad Camacho. She informed us on the many uses of the smartboard then continued to discuss the uses of the clicker using the CPS program. I learned that the smart board can be manipulated using a smaller hand-held pad that can be available to all students in the classroom if there is enough funding for such a thing. She also gave us the opportunity to use the pad and pen that comes with it.
