Present with Prezi - and Check Out Mr. Brown's Costume!

One great way to integrate technology into your classroom is to have students present their knowledge visually.  Power Point and Google Presentations are simple tools that can be used for this purpose.  If your students are ready for something similar to Power Point but a little more unique, try Prezi.com.

Your students can present their knowledge using text, images, or video.  Completed Prezis can also be posted online to classroom or student blogs.

I am available to teach you or your students about Prezi and guide them as they create a project demonstrating their knowledge.

Check out an example of what a Prezi looks like!

Create Your Own Rubrics Online

Rubrics are a great way to help students monitor their own progress toward the learning target.  Create your own at Rubistar.4teachers.org.

Here is an example of a rubric I created there.  A teacher can edit everything from the number of columns/rows to the points given.  Enjoy!
