Mirthala+Guerra-Gilkey

This final project was a longer process than I first thought it would be. I started with trying to use Live Binder.com in order to better organize my material. Unfortunately, I didn't find this program to be as user-friendly as I'd hoped. The tutorial was helpful, but because I was hoping to save lots of word program-created materials, it didn't work for me.

My second choice was to go to glogster.com to create a poster. I love the idea of the "old-fashioned" poster board project being updated and brought up to the 21st century technology. The ability to imbed videos onto your poster is amazing! I created a quick poster about Shakespeare's life (including a video) and decided this is easy enough to use that I can assign this to my classes this coming year. I know they will figure out faster than I did, and they will surely have fun with it.

My final project (linked below) was on prezi.com. It did take a while to "play" with the program to figure out the options available, but as a result, I created two short presentations for open house. They are both works in progress, but I do like the idea of talking to parents with some images projected on the screen...
