Prezi- A virtual canvas
Prezi is a presentation software
and storytelling tool for presenting ideas. This technology has a unique
zooming function which offers an alternative to the traditional, linear tool of
a PowerPoint presentation. Prezi allows the classroom to be opened up to active
learning and interactivity ensuring that lessons are memorable and not
disjointed (Prezi, 2014) . This fun and engaging
tool can support a variety of learning outcomes such as justification,
explanation and illustration of a certain topic. This creative tool supports the
connection and collaboration of students as it offers connection in real time
with 10 others, allowing brainstorming to occur on a shared virtual whiteboard (Prezi, 2014) . Prezi allows one to
embed videos and images, enabling learning to occur at greater depth through
connection of information. In the context of Home Economics, Prezi can support
many assessments and activities such as the accompaniment to research
assignments, a mood board, or an engaging addition to a process journal.
Examples of how Prezi can be
implemented at each stage on the SAMR model-
Prezi. (2014). Engage

Substitution: Prezi can be used to substitute
the task of a mood board in Home Economics, textiles. Text is added, zooming in
and out of each point.
Augmentation: Prezi can be used as a platform
for a creative mood board which contains images and short videos to set the scene
of the associated topic.
Modification: At the modification level Prezi
can be used to make connection with other webpages and information using
hyperlinks.
Redefinition: Collaboration with others and
their Prezi presentations, along with the giving and receiving of feedback,
thus analysis of others and own work. A model of a PREZI, created by myself:
