Presentation+Choice

3. Presentation Choice Although we'll all be conducting research about what good nutrition is, our final products will be **very** different. In the past, we've done our presentations (Butterfly & US State) using Microsoft PowerPoint. This year, I would like you to experiment with some options. Your team will choose **one** of these for your final project. Please explore each one:


 * Videos: Each of you should watch these videos on your own computer .**


 * Glogster:** Glogster creates a very cool, poster-like product that allows you to link to websites and add video and images. Watch this short video about Glogster.

 * **Prezi:** Prezi is like a supercharged PowerPoint. You can zip and zoom in and out of a Prezi. Watch this short video about making a Prezi. You will not do the assignment in the video.

 * **Scratch:** Scratch is actually writing a computer program by using lego-like blocks of code. By dragging and dropping and connecting these blocks of code, you can make a character called a "Sprite" move around on your screen and do various things. If you're really good, you can create your own video games. Click the picture below to see a short video about making a Scratch. Please close the window that opens after you watch the video.




 * Discussion:** This step should be completed only after everyone on your team has watched all three videos.

Now that you have explored a little, talk with your team about which you would like to create...a Glogster, a Prezi, or a Scratch. When you're ready and everyone is in agreement on which tool you would like to use, go back to Google Groupsand sign in.

Please click on "Discussions" and then on "Glogster, Prezi, or Scratch?" and follow the directions you see there. Close the window when you are finished.

Practice your secret handshake 3 times to celebrate choosing the kind of presentation you'll be doing!

Please send one student to check in with Mrs. Hallowell to let her know you've completed Step 3.
