Today I perfected my Prezi skills!! I had played with the website once or twice before, but tonight I really figured it all out....and it really is as easy as they say it is! Here is the link to the Prezi I created: http://prezi.com/zbctgz5tqe5h/cas-creativity-action-service/?auth_key=1e647a5749587a57f5923263e9573d644150998f. I had put together a boring Powerpoint for this presentation, but now I am going to be able to use this Prezi instead. I'm really looking forward to the reaction that I get from the parents and students! I can definitely see myself using Prezi from now on instead of Powerpoint.

Today I learned about Weebly - a site to make websites. I decided to let my son help me create the website and we used a book that he recently read to try-out how he might use the site as a tool for creating his book projects. The result can be seen at: http://bignategoesforbrokebookproject.weebly.com/. It was very easy to use and a lot of fun to do! I can see him continuing to use this in school as a way to share information, either about his books, or about a topic he is studying in class. It could be used the same way in high school.

Today I finally came up with an idea for making a screencast-o-matic! (I've been putting it off because I was having a tough time coming up with a good use for it). Here is the link: http://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/clfecHkjY. I'm not sure that I would use this tool very often, but it's definitely great to have it in my toolbox!
