Good things: It was practical. We all had computers in our hands for the first time in the history of school. Movement of the prezis are cool. It is also good that prezi is online, so one would not have to download microsoft office. Visually it is very fun.

Teaching ideas: What is important is not so much what software we use, but what is in the presentation in terms of content. And also, what is going on in class with the other students while they are working on the computer--some have to be kept on task and not use other sites.

Talking about Todays Meet, this could be set up in class as a forum. However, we have questions about keeping the students using the forum in a positive way. Is it possible that someone could open a new tab or new window, or if they are using Internet Explorer could they open Firefox, log in using a different name, and post negative comments.

We would really like the chance to have time to practice creating our own prezis during this time.

Strategies: Creating podcasts, recording texts, using wikispaces to create student pages, post homework, link to other sites, forums. Wikispaces also has internal email.

We are starting to think that the Portal Educacional is not as useful a tool as it should be. There are lots of really great programs that can be used for free through the internet. Is the Portal really worth it?

Also, not having access to youtube is a real problem. It creates an enormous amount of extra work for Daniel, and it seems unnecessary. Our students are old enough that we should be able to trust them to access youtube appropriately. (This issue is not about the current presentation.)

Last week, we were presented with so many programs during the presentation, that it was very difficult to keep up. It felt overwhelming. We would have focused just on one or two programs, esp. the Prezi!!!
