Extra Post - Snipping Tool - I passed the Middle School Math Content Test

I just found out yesterday that I passed the Middle School Math Content Praxis II that I took on June 12th. I'm a little excited so I thought I'd brag a little via blogger. Here's my snip of the score report- Woot Woot!

Prezi

Costa Rica - What a Country! on Prezi

Prezi is a web-based presentation tool using a map layout and zooming to show contextual relationships which addresses some of the shortcomings of Microsoft PowerPoint.

The map layout is the biggest difference between Prezi and PowerPoint. They are the same in the fact that they are both popular presentation tools on the computer.

I think that Prezi isn't necessarily better, but it is different. Everyone is used to the same slide after slide presentation and Prezi isn't the norm. One advantage of Prezi is that it is eye-catching. One disadvantage is that you can not animate text and graphics like you can in PowerPoint. Overall, both Prezi and PowerPoint can be successful when used properly.

ISTE NETS T:
A standard that I would cover when using Prezi in my classroom would be: 2a.
design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity

because students would be incorporating the digital tool, Prezi, for an awesome learning and creativity booster.

MotionPath with Mr. and Mrs. Nanner

I would use this in my classroom as a reward system. For example, when a student gets a quesiton right in class he/she can make Mr. Nanner dance.

Here is the FTP.

Labels

Here is the FTP for the labels PowerPoint. It involves steps for facotring equations.

Jing is very neat; here is a URL link to what I captured an image of. I am always looking up Bloom's Taxonomy so why not Jing it:)

I work in the student employment office on campus and students always get confused how to view jobs so I made a video to help illustrate how one would go about viewing a student position online:
