LEARNING BECAME A LOT MORE INTERESTING.




Our journey in the world of ICT became more exciting. Every week, i found out that myself being more intelligent. i love it.


9. PREZI (Group 8)

Prezi is a presentation tool that helps you organize and share your ideas.

At first glance, Prezi  may seem like an inferior example of presentation software. But closer inspection reveals that Prezi  is simply so unique, comparing it to traditional slideshow makers . Prezi displays information not as a series of slides, but as one large board that zooms in on specific information or images..



With Prezi, a presentation is created as a whole board. You lay out the information and visual aids however you like, then you create a “path” for the pan-and-zoom functions to follow. The end result? A presentation that starts with one bit of information, zooms out, pans to another bit of information, zooms in, etc. Certainly an interesting alternative to typical slideshow presentation.

   You can add text and multimedia items, like photo, video and audio files. There are two cookie-cutter shape options, as well as the word processing ability to do bulleted text. There are also 10 themes to choose from, which include color palates and fonts. You can create your own theme and save it for future use, as well. And there is a form of paragraph style functionality – you can preset three styles and choose from them when you create text blocks.

10.  Microsoft Power Point (Mouse Mischief )

 Very useful while carried out a lesson in a class room. This tool can help teacher to make sure their student are paying attention.

 

What is it exacly? 

Mouse Mischief integrates into Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 and Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007, letting you insert questions, polls, and drawing activity slides into your lessons.
Students can actively participate in these lessons by using their own mice to click, circle, cross out, or draw answers on the screen.


  
Microsoft Mouse Mischief is a new free add-on to Microsoft PowerPoint. Mouse Mischief is designed as an inexpensive alternative to clicker-type response systems. Mouse Mischief allows teachers to put multiple choice questions into their PowerPoint slides. Students can then answer the questions using mice connected to their teacher's computer. Mouse Mischief works with both wired and wireless mice. You can learn more and download Mouse Mischief here.
Applications for EducationI have not had a chance to try Mouse Mischief with students yet, but it seems like it could be a good way to get feedback from students during a lesson. If you're school already has Microsoft PowerPoint for teachers, this is a nice free addition for you.
