that goes along with their essays about
famous people through history. They will
then use their notes and the timeline tool to
give a presentation to their classmates. This
site can be used by both educators and
students to create engaging visual timelines.
Technology: Slideshows using
http://www.photosnack.com/
Ideas: Students bring photographs from
home to help us create a class slideshow.
This slideshow will be used to help us ask
and answer questions about the images to
decipher who contributed which photo and
what the photograph represents for that
particular student. This activity is great for
eliciting a broad range of language use and
for helping to build a strong classroom
community.
Technology: Storyboards using
http://www.storyboardthat.com/
Ideas: Students will listen to a story and will
then work in groups to make a visual
representation of that story using a digital
storyboard maker. Students will first use
paper to sketch the main scenes and ideas
and will then translate it to the digital form.
This is a great way for educators to assess
listening comprehension.
Technology: Movie Maker using
https://animoto.com
Ideas: As a final project, students will work
in groups to create a how to video using
an online movie maker tool. They must
first choose a teacher-approved topic and
then will be responsible for capturing
footage using their mobile phones. They
must work as a group to edit the footage
and add text to create a video. The final
product will be presented to the class.
Technology: Create animated videos using
PowToon.
https://www.powtoon.com
Ideas: Students use PowToon to make a
presentation to demonstrate their knowledge
of unit content and their speaking ability.
They must create their animation and then
us next. It was very clear to me that deep connections were being made with the content we
were studying due to the use of visuals and the format of the online presentation tool.
I am excited to utilize Prezi (n.d.) more in future lessons, but I am even more excited
to create projects that ask students to create their own presentations using the platform. I
think this platform is a fantastic way for educators to be make creative and engaging
presentations that keep students on the edge of their seats, but I also think it is a great
opportunity for students to do the same. A thoughtful project assignment developed around
the use of Prezi (n.d.) could touch several of the 21st century fluencies necessary for todays
students: solution, information, creative, media, and collaboration fluencies (Crockett, Jukes,
and Churches, 2012). I look forward to utilizing Prezi (n.d.) more in the future.
Part 3: Implementation Evidence
The bulk of this lesson was a speaking lesson and I have included a few pictures of the
class as we were viewing and discussing the Prezi. As my lessons are very fast-paced, it
proved difficult to get photos at optimal participation times. The photos below reflect times
students were thinking about the images before we discussed them as a class.
