For this activity I created a presentation on the dangers of smoking using Prezi. This is the first time I have ever used Prezi, and I liked it much better than PowerPoint. I think the Prezi presentation is much more interesting visually, compared to PowerPoint. We are so bombarded with PowerPoint presentations that they have become repetitive and boring. One of the advantages of Prezi is that it is very easy to insert pictures and YouTube videos. I also like how the Prezi presentation flows; I like how you can zoom in and out to the different topics and how you can zoom back and see the entire thing at once. The only real disadvantage I saw in the Prezi compared to the PowerPoint was in manipulating the text. PowerPoint is pretty straight forward and in Prezi I had to play around with it to get the hang of it. I like both Prezi and PowerPoint, and they are both great for presenting information,but after doing this activity I think I would choose Prezi if I were doing a presentation in a classroom.
I believe the ISTE NETS standards for this activity are 1, 2, and 3. Standard 1 for the creativity that is involved. Standard 2 for the actual digital tool. And Standard 3 because you are communicating information through the digital tool.
You can view my Prezi online here or see it below.
