More cool tools

After reflecting on all the cool tools I learned about in this course, I would have to say Prezi stood out to me.  When students have to create a presentation, they immediately think to use Power Point or Google Slides, which is fine, but, it would be nice to see some different platforms used.  Prezi is great because it almost allows the audience to be more "immersed" in the presentation rather than staring at the same old boring themes on Slides or Power Point.

After investigating more into Prezi, it is a bit more time consuming to create a presentation and sometimes the "paths" the presentation takes can be confusing to fix if they are ever mixed up.  I find the number one drawback to Prezi is the fact that students can't collaborate on separate devices while working on a Prezi.  I have my students work in groups a lot and if they chose to use Prezi instead of Google Slides, only one student would be able to edit the presentation while the others have no control.

I would like to engage my students with this technology by often replacing Google Slides or Power Point when creating presentations; if another platform is used I feel students will immediately be more interested in the students' work for they will be seeing a different presentation form compared to what they are always used to viewing.
