Reflection Week 8

Date: 13th April, 2013 (Saturday)

This week, there is a presentation of two groups which is Group 6 (my group) and Group 8. These presentation is about two software named Prezi and Microsoft PowerPoint.

1. Prezi Software (Group 8)
Prezi is a relatively-new presentation program that incorporates the use of text, graphics, and embedded videos, all on a web-based platform. It serves a similar function to PowerPoint, but with more powerful and interesting features. presentations are created on a canvas rather than on slides. Items on the canvas can be dragged, tilted, and zoomed to create an engaging look.

Prezi is such a wonderful presentation tool which can be learn by few easy steps. Few extra minutes are needed by the users to explore and demonstrate their creativity of using it. I'm 100% sure that most of  us will like to use Prezi for our presentation...It's absolutely will attract the audience to concentrate, feel more interested and do not feel bored to see / watch our presentation....

Prezi could be found in 3 different packages and this is not a totally free software, which can only be produced online. 

  • Full Version Package - Users need to subscribe and pay to get the full version of Prezi.
  • Public Package - Free subscription for the period of 30 days and storage size of 100MB.
  • Students & teachers Package - Trial version is the best recommended, which the software will be free of charge for the next 30 days from the date of subscription and the storage size are much larger (500MB)  

Here, I've provided some links of Prezi's Tutorial which can be easily downloaded from the internet: Prezi: A Quickstart Guide , How to Use Prezi , How to Create Prezi in 5 Easy Steps , Introduction to Prezi , The Prezi Tutorial , Prezi Tutorial , Prezi Basics and Manual Prezi .
                                       
PREZI IS VERY EASY TO USE..!!!
And, most importantly, PREZI IS FUN!!

Next, our attention shifted to another group presentation, that is Microsoft PowerPoint by Group 6.

 

2. Microsoft PowerPoint (Mouse Mischief) (Group 6)



Microsoft PowerPoint has being recognized by all and being a favorite tools for students and teachers in their presentations or  projects. 

Microsoft Mouse Mischief is an add-in to Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2010 and 2007, the presentation program by Microsoft that is part of the Microsoft Office system. This program enables teachers to create and insert questions, polls, and drawing activity slides into their lesson. Mouse Mischief is a fun way to keep your students' attention and increase participation in the classroom. Mouse Mischief gives us 3 major benefits as an educational tool for classroom use that are:
  • First, student can actively participate in lessons, where it can help students learn collaboration.
  • Second, it helps teachers connect with large classes, to get every student involved in the lessons, and provide teachers with immediate feedback on the understanding and progress of the class as a whole. 
  • Third, it can help provide access to technology, which enables large group of students to gain computer practice during their lesson.
Attached herewith an overview of Microsoft Mouse Mischief and demo from YouTube.


During the presentation, we are taught how to build a crossword puzzle...Hmm...So interesting...but, this Mouse Mischief program are needed to be installed first...
