Suggestions for use: Use the Prezi software to represent an interesting and appealing presentation about anything at all! It is a step ahead of PowerPoint and is very user friendly for teachers and pupils alike.
After a recent Science experiment which involved which kitchen paper absorbed the most water, some of the children go the chance to use Prezi to document how the Science experiment was carried out. During the experiment, the children took photos and videos of the experiment in action and when it was finished, they uploaded the pics and videos to Prezi. They then used Prezi to show how the experiment started, what their thoughts and predictions were throughout the lesson and what they learned after the experiment was completed. It was a really appealing visual display after they had added pictures, videos and text and all classes in the school got to view the video thereafter. There is an opportunity to use the likes of Skype to link up with other classes in the following weeks to discuss the presentation but as it was late in the year, unfortunately this was not possible for us!
