Reflection Week 8

Today (13 April 2013) is the eighth lesson of Technology and Innovation in Teaching and Learning Chemistry. I have learnt two software applications today which are Prezi and Advanced Microsoft Office PowerPoint. 

       Prezi’s aim is to give people the tools to publish creative presentations, rather than the traditional and common bland and boring ones. Prezi was officially launched in. The advantages of Prezi are:

• Presentations are made on the internet, therefore you are not limited to working on one computer, or having to save your work on portable memory.
• The presentations have the opportunity to be more creative
• It is more engaging to the audience compared to Powerpoint
• You can make your presentations public if you want people to view your presentation they can do it in their own time.
• Can be used to share information

       The disadvantage is Basic Prezi is free. To use more tools and create better presentations a cost is involved.

      We usually use Microsoft Office PowerPoint to display slides show during presentations. Most of the teachers in school also familiar with the application of Microsoft Office PowerPoint. But today, we are learning the advanced Microsoft Office PowerPoint. Advanced Microsoft Office PowerPoint can create a slides show with more interactive features such as cross words puzzle and multiple choices question. The weakness of the Advanced Microsoft Office PowerPoint is a bit complicated.

       However, Prezi and Microsoft Office PowerPoint are great tools to create a creative presentations.
