The End is Nigh

Hard to really believe we are wrapping up this course in a week. Lots of stuff to complete before we finish but reflecting back on what we have learned so far I would have to say that I think being introduced to Prezi will definitely change a lot about the way I teach from now on. There have many countless little tips throughout the course that I will take away and utilize in my class but Prezi will definitely have a big influence on how my students will view my class from now on. I think most of the teachers from Bucheon University have made it clear that it can be a challenge to get and maintain the attention of our students. I really believe that Prezi will help out a lot in getting the students engaged and focused on the lessons I am introducing to them.

I am planning on combining Prezi with a number of other tools we now have in our repertoire. I can easily see my students creating Prezi presentations that have audio tracks they have created themselves using Garage band, screen casts that they can embed into the presentations, or even short films that they create. Using the dynamic templates available to them I can see my students getting excited about presenting rather than dreading it.   It is really hard to pick just one thing that is my favorite from this course, as I can honestly say that this course has been one of the most informative classes I have ever participated in. When Steve said at the beginning he wanted to arm us with new weapons to bring to class he wasn’t kidding. The hardest part from now on will be finding enough days in the term to get a chance to use all the tools.
