Hi Jamie!
ReplyDeleteIt is kind of neat to look at a blog of someone who is in the CSL program of this course. The blogs are a little different, and you don't need a Wikipedia entry, or research paper. The blog looks very good! It looks like you are having such a positive experience volunteering. Your prezi presentation is kind of neat, it is something new and looks good!
Looks like you are having so much fun and learning so much..I look forward to hearing your presentation at the end of the semester!
Check out my blog too!

I have to agree that using Prezi allowed you to make a great Pecha Kucha presentation! I also love that you were able to use audioboo to record the speaking ahead of time since that tends to be when I get the most nervous. Great post and great presentation!
ReplyDeleteHey Toni and Lindsey,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much to both of you, I really enjoyed making the Pecha Kucha on Prezi and presenting it. It was a lot of fun.
