Web 2.0 Tool Review

In my quest to find a new presentation tool, I took part in the Prezi tutorial and checked out Viddix.  I was impressed with Viddix, which is where I began my search.  The program allows video, with side by side captioning.  The example I watched included tables in the captioning.  It worked great as a presentation tool.  The students recorded their video, and then, "showed" their thinking through the captions as they worked through a problem.  I thought it was a cool and different way of presenting material.

I then tried the Prezi tutorial.  I thought it was awesome!  I like the way it follows a path while zooming in on important objects.  It reminded me of a commercial because it looked professionally done.  The thing I liked about it, was that it seemed simple to navigate and anyone could produce a quality presentation.  I also liked the feature that allowed the user to embed YouTube videos in the Prezi.

I plan to use Prezi for my project, but will continue to explore other programs provided because I enjoy learning new technology resources.
