This week's hands on activities revolved around using slide show presentation tools. I chose to explore Prezi as I have already had some experience using this digital tool. I really enjoy using Prezi for classroom presentations as I find the layout more interesting than a regular power point presentation. Prezi also makes it more difficult to put a lot of text onto one slide which is ideal for an effective slide show presentation. However, I was having a few issues with Prezi as I was creating this week's side show. I was finding it difficult to format the bubbles and the arrows the way I wanted them, and Prezi wasn't allowing me to insert a link without automatically inserting the entire YouTube video into my slide show. This could be very challenging if you are trying to cite your works used and you are unable to paste the link to a video into your presentation. I created the Prezi below on copyright infringement which was also a large part of this week's hands on activities.
This week we learned how to filter Google for images that are free to use, share or modify, even commercially. I did not know that you could choose such filters in Google's advanced settings but I found it very useful and will definitely use this going forward in my education. I will also add Prezi to my PLE diagram because after exploring it some more I realized what a unique slide show presentation tool it is. I will place Prezi under my school related digital tools as I will use it for my upcoming classroom presentations. Lastly, we explored ways to avoid copyright infringement such as producing your own images. We have already had the opportunity to create our own images such as the PLE diagrams and the Popplet maps. This week I choose to make my own image using an online digital tool called WordItOut. Check out the word cloud I made below using the words from this week's blog post.

Don't forget to cite your own images as well!
Until next week,
