Week 4, Thing 8, Prezi

I think the Prezi program is really cool! The only thing I was disappointed with was that I went through the whole process of creating my Prezi presentation (this took me nearly an hour) and once I was finally finished, I couldn't present it. Apparently, when I signed up for only a trial, I was only alotted nine different views with different info in each view. My presentation had about 21. Essentially, the presentation would only show 9 out of my 21 views. What a bummer!
Prezi is a nice alternative to PowerPoint presentations. It is definitely something I will keep in mind for a future (when I am willing and ready to pay money for it!)

Week 4, Thing 7, Animoto!

Oh my gosh, I LOVE this thing!
It took me a minute to figure out how to do it, but once I did, I made this awesome video. It includes some pictures from my trip to Europe this summer. I traveled to London Paris, and Rome and met some wonderful friends. My video is called "Three cities, two weeks, one amazing experience!" Check it out. I will definitely use this for other projects in the future.

Week 3, Thing 5, Quizlet

I really liked Quizlet! I think I'm becoming fascinated at all the study tools for students and teachers alike on the Internet. I will probably be using Quizlet to make flashcards for my CSET, which I am taking in January. It is so much faster for me to type out terms and definitions than to write them. The notecards I made are commonly used SAT words. Here's my link!
