Online+Multimedia-Active+Day

Online Multimedia - Active Day
There are a variety of online multimedia tools that are similar to traditional multimedia software packages found on computers today. We will be looking at PhotoPeach, and Prezi. Both of these online multimedia programs afford the students to create slide shows to demonstrate what they have learned. At the end of the workshop you will be creating your own PhotoPeach and Prezi slide shows. You will then email them to me along with a reflection as to which program you found better and why. You will also list three uses for these programs in your classroom. I will then embed your presentations onto this wiki.

PhotoPeach
Photo Peach.com is an online presentation making program. It ties in with Web 2.0 because the users create and share their work. The students can embed video, photo, and text comments

Prezi
Prezi.com, is an online multimedia presentation tool. There is not much difference between the free version and the paid educator version. The most important difference between the free public version and the private educator version is that presentations created by the students are not searchable by the general public. Prezi offers the user more creativity and control over their presentation's appearance than the traditional Power Point program does.
