Prezi & ethics

 Hi everyone! 

In this week's task we all have to choose a different ICT tool useful for a primary classroom, and review it using two different materials. 

Personally, I chose Prezi an online website in order to create amusing as well as original presentations. 

If you would like to check my review on Prezi, please, click here! 

All in all, I wholeheartedly believe that Prezi is an app which is up to scratch in order to achieve certain learning outcomes. As a matter of fact, the option to design multimedia presentations will engage students and encourage them to create beyond just dropping images and text into slide after slide. What is more, on the teacher's side, the ability to really zoom in to specific content can be a powerful visual reminder of a lesson's most important points. On the flip side, should you like to incorporate some audio, you will need to include it at individual steps on a Prezi path, and you can loop a musical track, but you'll need a workaround. Moreover, slow load times for larger images and videos make the online version a poor choice for wireless connections. 

In light of all the above, I strongly recommend Prezi as a teaching as well as learning tool, not only on account of its functionality and its ease of use; but also since  when it comes to actually engaging students in learning in a real classroom, it completely fulfills its job by taking external, unknown knowledge (i.e. the periodic table) and incorporating it into their day to day lives (for instance, why the shampoo makes bubbles when they wash their hair).

Facilitating the week

First of all, this week has been very calm, meaning that there was not even a single problem related to any kind of conflict, in fact, each task and role was distributed randomly so that it was more fair for everyone. Every member of the group was assigned with a role; however, there is an exception in our group, because we are 7 people, meaning that 1 role must be repeated, the role that is distributed twice is the role of Star, we select that specific role because taking into account the exception, this role is perfect because it can be shared and even more detailed if we have two speakers instead of only one. Secondly, talking about our online spaces, you can find information about our projects on this blog, furthermore, we also have created an Instagram account, where you can find picture about us and more information about the tasks, here is the user: @gogetters21. To conclude I must say that this week everyone has worked on the project, meaning that there were barely any ...
