Week 12 Creating our Presentation

This week we have been finishing up our presentation.  We are using Prezi.  We have discovered lots of features while working on it.  Last week we discovered how to add pictures and videos.  This week we figured out how to add voice over.  I ended up recording on my phone, emailing it to myself, opening the attachment, which put it into iTunes and into a file that I could upload to the Prezi.  I'm sure there is a quicker way, but this worked fine for us. 

We were able to meet on Eluminate and have our Prezi open to work on and discuss at the same time.  This made editing decisions much better and quicker than when we were communicating on our Wiki page.  It was invaluable to be able to see what someone was talking about as they said it. 

This weekend we each have something we are going to do and then it should be ready to be turned in!  It has been great working with our group.  I'm glad we found we could share the Prezi editing at the same time we were talking on Eluminate  Great program!

Game- The Devil is in the Details!

 

We started this week with the basic idea of our game down from meeting a couple of times last week.  This week we have been focusing on the details of the game.  There are so many options!

On Tuesday we focused our meeting time on Elluminate on figuring out what to use for our presentation.  We have decided to use Prezi. This is a new program for a few of us, so it has taken some research into the program.  We also discussed some of what program to use for our game and we are leaning strongly towards Edmodo. This is also new to a few of us. 

I was able to share a Prezi so that we all could edit it.  Another group member made a “practice” one to try things out on.  It doesn’t appear to be real easy to add/delete things.  This practice one has given us a good start. 

We met again after the Twitter session on Thursday.  We looked over our Prezi and then decided we should focus on our proposal that is due on Sunday.  We agreed to use what we had started already to begin with and to adjust it for the proposal.

Our group is doing a great job working well together.  We should have a great final product!
