I am happy that you chose to explore the plethora of web 2.0 tools available to make education exciting within our classrooms. Ok, lets get started with the first web 2.0 tool, Prezi. Prezi is a cloud-based presentation software that allows you to tell a visual story with depth and allows your students to easily remember the information. Do you want to incorporate the web mapping mentioned in our last faculty meeting with Suzy Pepper? If so, this is for you! In this segment we are going to learn how to create a basic Prezi and add images, text, and video. Scene 3: Narrated Steps Video Show Prezi opening screen segment Narration Ready? Lets get started!

Scene 4: Opening Prezi Video Go to website; Log in Narration Go to the Prezi website and log in using your school email and password (If you did not register prior to this meeting, you may pause and register now. I suggest you use your school email address and password for simplicity.)

Now you can edit the image by clicking it and choosing from the menu that appears Replace, Copy, Edit, or Delete. Lets size the image click the image and move your cursor to the edges to size the image without distorting it clicking the sides will widen the image and distort the picture so if you want to retain the proportions, click the corners to size. If you click effects you can enhance your photo in a variety of ways this may be something you want to explore in greater detail once you are comfortable with the program. Scene 9: Adding text Video add content according to the narration Narration Now lets add text to the frame. Click the frame. Now choose insert text. You may also begin typing on a preset text box, depending on the template you chose. Change the font by clicking subtitle. This allows the text to show on your path.
