There have been many tools I have learned this semester that I will be using in my classroom as a future teacher. I have already used some of them in my college classes this semester alone. Two tools that I enjoyed the most, and feel I would use and my students would benefit from in my classroom would be
prezi and
animoto.
Prezi is a great tool to replace the boring Microsoft powerpoint presentations. Prezi is like using a white board. You have an endless amount of canvas to gather, sort, and put together information for an awesome presentation. I wish that we would have had more time to learn about this tool. It is a lot more complex than powerpoint, but i'm sure with more use and ease will come.
Animoto is another great tool. This is a video slideshow presentation that is simple, takes little time, but can have a total impact depending on what you are presenting. I have used this in at least three different classrooms this semester alone. All you have to do is find pictures on the topic, put in a few words, pick music and animoto takes a few minutes an completes you an awesome slideshow.
The greatest thing about ALL these tools we learned about this semester, it that they are ALL FREE!!!! How can we beat that?
