Journal #5

          This class is arranged in a way that allows me to apply what I am learning to my current classroom and curriculum.  The past two weeks I have used and explored tools that have improved my teaching.  Currently, I am having students create podcasts in math to post on the web for students to refer to when completing assignments or for review.  Additionally, I am transferring and updating some old PowerPoints to Prezis.  The benefits of Prezis being available on the web instead of saving a file to a certain location and the ease of incorporating pictures and videos is enough support for me to convert to this tool.
            I was even presented with a few opportunities to share these resources with other teachers.  I am finding that I am not the only one who had not heard of a Prezi.  Now, others in my building are exploring the tool as well.
