They are very engaging with the facilities of a zooming canvas and it also allows the 3D capabilities to take audiences on a exceptional experience.
This digital tool in the classroom could become very resourceful and creatively promote active learning to the students. There are many uses/activities that I could use this application for. Some examples are:
- creating more memorable and engaging lesson content
- class group brainstorming
- ideas and thoughts on given subjects
- individual projects (showing who they are)
Even if you have PowerPoints with previous evidence of loss of interaction by students, you can even import your PowerPoint slides to a Prezi presentation. This I found to be very interesting.
With all digital tools, there can be some setbacks when implementing.
- It can be time consuming if you have not worked in such an application.
- depending if you buy the application, you won't be able to download to a portable device
- with use, a short tutorial may be needed for students ( time consuming)
Here is a random Prezi I put together.
The following is a PMI table to analyse the use of a Prezi.
