It would be nice if there was a way to create Prezis on the app, but the presenter can only view the Prezi they made.

I really enjoy the look of a prezi. It is new and fresh compared to power points and take students to new dimensions by clicking, zooming, and inserting videos. The prezi app is easy to log in to and is great for viewing. The only problem with this app that I had was editing through the iPad. I like to log in to my computer to edit/ arrange them.

I feel like too often Language is all about the writing, having this app would allow students to creat stories with their voices. I also like that the stories can be saved and played back. It would be fun to have each student create a story and then share them with their classmates. Students also become familiar with the terms noun, adjective, and adverb. I like that the app gives examples but the students can create their own as well. Once students have a chance to create a story on the app you could move into writing a story. Plus I love that the app is free! I had a lot of fun creating my own stories!Amanda Kratzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08627138452483563669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8365546356183644457.post-26049588272647955332012-09-29T08:28:51.323-07:002012-09-29T08:28:51.323-07:00This is so easy to use!

I like all of the different coloring options there are and the different types of markers to use. I think students will love to have all of the options and they can create a book that is partially made or they can create their own. It is very interactive and easy to use which I love. This could be used in social studies, reading, English, math, science, any subject really. And it incorporates the art aspect to reach another level of learning.

Then when they are done, you can read them the story that goes with the picture. I think that this would be a great way to get student's brains going and making them think. I would definitely use this in my classroom, and it is free which makes it even better. corrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12460513506495984630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8365546356183644457.post-10369991706991818972012-09-28T08:00:42.549-07:002012-09-28T08:00:42.549-07:00This app. is great.

This would be great for students with special needs who struggle with writing but we still want to know if they understand what an adjective is, a noun, etc.. This would also be great to use as a speech pathologist. If students struggle with saying the phoneme for "L" they could require the students to choose and adjective with this letter and then record their voice while saying it. So many fun ideas to use with this app.! And it's free!!Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11652117331602660943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8365546356183644457.post-11551895973593854522012-09-27T19:28:25.911-07:002012-09-27T19:28:25.911-07:00I began using Prezi on my own this year, and I lov...I began using Prezi on my own this year, and I love it! I have used it with partner presentations, but my partner usually put together the presentation because they knew more about it then I did. The Prezi Viewer App is really useful, because it does not require you to log-in to your account every time. You just hook up your iPad and begin your presentation. I really enjoy "the look" of a Prezi. It is pretty much a spiced up power point. One con of this App is the fact that you cannot edit your Prezi on it. Also, I noticed that when I update my Prezi on a computer, the Prezi will not update on the Prezi Viewer App unless you restart it. That part is a bit inconvenient, but all in all I love this App because it has all of your premade Prezis there waiting for you.

They are stunning. What I also like about the app is that it contains a news story with every picture. This would be a great way to open a lesson for students or even as an activity in itself. There are a variety of ways this app can be used. This is app is very similar to the National Geographic Today, except it does not have video. If the photographers who do the photos for this app would to do the videos, then they would be amazing. The only con that I see with this app is there is some nudity with the pictures. Unfortunately, many parents may go crazy if they see something like that. This can be remedied by a letter being sent home or the teacher choosing a photo each day. This is a great app that I will definitely use in my classroom.

It was super helpful and easy to access all the Prezis that I have created. I love the new templates for Prezi. Using it as a presentation tool is a great way to mix things up for your students. The one thing I wish this app could do that I doesn't do would be editing. You can delete or resize items, I wish it worked just like the website did so you could use the full editing tools on your iPad.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17902799510212315935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8365546356183644457.post-85882036243447254172012-09-27T08:43:33.237-07:002012-09-27T08:43:33.237-07:00Just downloaded this and connected to Dropbox.

The pictures and news stories this app includes are amazing! There are so many different activities you can implement using this app, and it is a great resource for current events taking place across the globe. The only negative I have found was that there is only one picture uploaded a day on the free version. Overall, this app is a great find and is packed with interesting info.

I use Prezi's all the time to pace my lesson (and so I don't forget anything!) The student's love the look of the Prezi and it's something fresh and new, compared to PowerPoint presentations. Prezi has recently made updates to their system, so it is now easier to use than before, which is a huge PRO. You can use Prezi to document and present any topic you can dream of. This app is definitely the bomb.com.

The only thing that I would change about this app is that there should be more than 15 animals tracks. But this could be part of a center or a study group. Where groups could have books about tracks and one group have this app and rotate.

I also believe this application would be better if there was more of a variety in the animals that they chose to present in the application. Though there is not much of a variety I believe this application would be best suited to introduce the topic of animal tracks to students. After reviewing this app I was unable to find a comparable app that did not cost money. Overall a great app to use in the classroom!Kaitlin Grotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13549963130992013622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8365546356183644457.post-75622351978016856582012-02-07T09:41:41.704-08:002012-02-07T09:41:41.704-08:00I like this application.

During the game, I found myself sometimes wanting to press the pause button, because the numbers kept coming out! Regardless, the game was really fun, and I felt "hooked" to almost buy the full version with the promise of fun little side things like designing your fish. I can see this being applicable in the classroom, or even for home exercise. I would not make it the foundation of a lesson, but it could really help review.annebolwerkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14131374158316808568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8365546356183644457.post-63819179677856662682012-02-07T09:34:40.938-08:002012-02-07T09:34:40.938-08:00This application is so cool!

This would be great to use in the classroom because it can be updated frequently, unlike a normal science textbook. Oberservations could be made everyday. It would definitley break up the monotony.
