Lecturing with PowerPoint, Keynote and Prezi
Time: Tuesday, February, 16th, 1:00 – 2:00pm
Room: 203C Mac lab (North Building)
Instructor: Grant Gregson, Glen Lowry
Find online account support and tutorial information here.
This workshop will present an overview and best practices methods for using the PowerPoint, Keynote and Prezi presentation software. Keynote is a presentation software application, developed by Apple as an alternative to Microsoft’s PowerPoint application and is a part of the Apple iWorks suite of applications. Prezi is an entirely Flash-based app that lets you break away from the slide-by-slide approach of most presentations. Instead, it allows you to create non-linear presentations where you can zoom in and out of a visual map containing words, links, images, videos, etc. All three applications allow for presenters to choose from a variety of templates and allows them to embed, audio, video, photos, setup 3D animations and links to websites. Here students and faculty can sign up for a free Prezi account by going to http://prezi.com/profile/signup/edu/

- learn about issues of digital identity and what the Internet says about you
- share what you are doing to manage your digital tattoo
- discuss how to make your digital tattoo more reflective of your role as an instructor and artist
- learn how others are connecting with students online using social media tools and technologies
