For
my final assignment I chose to go with Prezi. I chose to do my modules based on
Prezi because I find this tool very useful, especially for college students.
Even though this website is not a social media site, I thought it would be
useful to do the project on it because it is similar in a couple of ways. One
similarity is the way that you can share it with friends and with the rest of
the world, you can also add people to your presentation. When your video is all
done you can even share it and people can comment on it. Most of all many
college students use this site for class presentations, just like many young
adults use social media sites. Young adults are always looking to use the newest
and best sites as they become available. However, it is different in the fact
that it is for professional use. Prezi is not a mobile app like other social media
sites such as Snapchat or Twitter.
The
site itself is really easy to use. For that reason, I knew it would be quick
and easy to do a short Screencast about Prezi to introduce everyone to the
site. I did not get into much detail with my Screencast video because I wanted
to add other tutorials from YouTube to the modules as well. I went through
several videos on YouTube looking for the videos that I thought suited best the
assignment and used those videos in my final assignment.
Creating
a quiz was a little more difficult. It was a little tougher to do because I had
no idea what I should put in it. Prezi is simple tool to use, so I found it
hard to come up with questions that would be challenging for students to
answer. I did manage to get a few ideas at the end although it was only a six
question quiz.
This
was supposed to be a group project so I messaged people who were supposed to be
in my group. However, I only ended up with one partner because the two others
had already completed the project on their own. This was fine by me and worked
very well in the end. We divided the work between the both of us. My partner created
an assignment and a discussion, and I created the quiz and inserted the supporting
material that we needed to include about the site Prezi. We worked quickly and
great together however, we might have finished too quickly because we made a
few mistakes and forgot to include a few things. Even though I watched the
video the teacher had provided for us a few times I still managed to miss a few
things. Perhaps it was because it was the last assignment before I went on
spring break so I rushed it. However, that is no excuse! I need to really watch
what I am doing and pay better attention in the future to instructions.
