1. Describe the Presentation Tool or Screencasting Tool you used. Provide a link to the website.
- It is a new presentation tool that looks like a very huge paper. You might feel as if you attach some post-it
on a big white paper when you use Prezi.
2. Describe the presentation or activity you created using the tool. Provide a link to the location of your embedded presentation on your Google Site.
- I would like to explain how the activity of a English class flow and what step each activitiy has with using Prezi presentation. The objective of the class is to make subject and object questions according to situation.
<Motivation> The teacher play an audio about a call to 911. One 4 years-old boy call 911 to help his math problem. This content of audio has the cute boy;s funny story. After listening it, the teacher ask "Who did the kid call?"
<System of Phonenetwork> The teacher suggests 4 pictures of famous people in phone network. The teacher asks "Who called Obama? " and next, "Who did Obama call? moving Prezi presentation. It seems that Obama and other persons are really having a talk on the phone.
<Information gap activiry> The teacher compares Student A and B's worksheet for doing information gap activity. And The teacher show a example to play this activity and what sentence students need.
<Mystery Survey> The teacher provide how to play survey game. Prezi presentation provides explaination of the role of students.
3. Describe your experience using the tool. Would you recommend it to other teachers? Why or why not?
- I have experienced about Powerpoint program, but it is a first time to do with Prezi. So i was not sure i could make it. However, a main thema of Prezi looked so simple and intuitive that it made me feel encouraged to give it a try.
- Powerpoint looks like several sheet of A4 paper. If you have a brief outline of content, you can add and supplement more slide between other sheet whenever you want.
On the other hand Prezi seems to be a whole paper. And you could stick post-it on everywhere you want. But if you don't have a plot of content or sequence of story, it might be hard to compose work with Prezi.
- Powerpoint needs time to make effect of animation effectively, while Prezi provides effect of zoom-in/out, turn, change of view more easily. But if you put many effect into your work in Prezi, some audience might feel dizzy or nauseous.
- I'd like to recommend to use Prezi at least once. Because teachers need to know which program has strong or weak point. If teachers know about character of Prezi, they have opportunity to present more effectively than the time they didn't know about Prezi. Also They can select among both program, Powerpoint or Prezi according to their emphasis on presentation.
4. Describe potential uses the tool could have in the Korean EFL learning context.
- Working with Prezi are required to access Internet. And You cannot control movement of Prezi with wireless mouse pointer. So if you want to show students more active presentation, you need someone to touch a keyboard. You might ask one of your students to do that.
- When you provide dynamic story-telling or explaination of place, country, people, etc, Prezi might be very essential tool in Korean EFL learning context. Students would be quite enjoyable to listen your story.
