Prezi - Numbers: Types and Relationships Yet Again

Well, after about two days of working on this and starting over two or three times, I think I have a decent Prezi presentation of my original PowerPoint presentation.  I had a few issues transferring the PowerPoint to Prezi, but decided to create my own stuff in the end.  I learned how to create my own backgrounds, how to create my own collection of images, how to change colors, and many other things.  The only thing I could not figure out was how to size frames.  Being a little OCD this started to bother me and it still does, but over the years I have learned to let it go.  So you can click here to see my newest Prezi or you can watch it here on my blog at the bottom.

Here is everything from the beginning.  It has been an epic journey.  I started with a PowerPoint and ended with a Prezi.

So here is the link to the original PowerPoint.
PowerPoint Presentation

This is probably the most boring way to present a topic. 

Next we worked on the movie.  This was a really cool way to present a topic.

And finally the Prezi.

As you can see the topic and concept remain the same, but the presentation is different for each.  If class is boring create a Prezi, if you have some time change it to a movie.  I always think in terms as all my presentations are "works in progress."  I am constantly changing and modifying to make the presentation better.  Nothing in my world is ever done.

In regards to the ISTE-NETS-T standards, Standard 1, Standard 2, and Standard 3 apply to this exercise.  Creating movies and Prezis will inspire students to  create their own works of art in their own ways.  Students can visually see relationships and have images to remember topics.  Teachers are not standing in front of a class lecturing in a monotone voice and teachers are showing they are were not left in the 20th century where books and chalkboards existed.
