Teaching US History I find it hard at times to supply the students with a brief introduction that will get them wondering or asking questions about what we are going to talk about. I created my Prezi in what would be considered timeline format. I briefly listed something that happened in the year and then provided and artifact of some sort. This artifact was either an image, video, music or in some cases just a simple line of text. It is key to keep in mind that I am trying to get students to start asking questions. This Prezi is mean to be used as an opening activity for this period of time.
Prezi and PowerPoint differ from each other in numerous ways. One of the most notable is that difference in how you create the presentation. Prezi feels as though you are creating a story from start to finish, with PowerPoint I feel as though I am creating snippets of information as I make each slide. I do feel that each is the same in the basics of it, each presents information and each can be done to the point of bulleting people to death with information. Prezi in my mind gets the edge of PowerPoint because of the ease in inserting video,not only video but you can insert YouTube videos. Using YouTube is a big advantage because of the shear size of the resource. With PowerPoint I always seem to run into trouble when trying to insert a video because the video is not saved in the same folder when I transfer it to another computer, as well as having to go thru various other programs to download YouTube videos. While Prezi allows me the ability to show it anywhere on any computer as long as their is internet access.

I listed a variety of standards for this exercise because I thought of the information I was presenting with my Prezi. I feel that the information I am giving students a taste of along with the means that is being used to deliver it touches these in one form or another. By using Prezi students will be able to explore what issues they chose to or on a given topic. The activity itself allows student to customize it to how they learn the best, if they learn from video the best than they can insert relevant videos to help get their points across. However while students create their presentations they will need to be responsible for making sure to credit people for any artifacts they use which will promote and model digital etiquette.
