Collocations

This task was about Collocations.   We had to make a Prezzi presentation. A prezi is a presentation of text and visuals that you zoom in and out of. It is very similar to a power point, except you do not make slides. Instead, you make one big prezi and zoom in to different views. You can show a prezi to others on a computer through your prezi account, or you can link to them.

From an educational point of view, Prezi gives a lot of play when explaining concepts, creating schemes, focusing the student's attention through visual stimulation. Moreover, we must take into account the pedagogical use we can make of it at any age, it can help us educationally to help our students develop skills through the use of this program, such as the improvement of the capacity of synthesis, the increase of creativity, that they have more facility when exposing themselves to the public, and of course the improvement of the control of the TIC.

Currently, Prezi is having great success in getting teachers and students to present their classes, works, and exhibitions to the rest of the class, since it is a simple way to advance in the incessant technological advance in which we are immersed.

In the Active section of the BBC's educational resources, we can find an article that talks about the advantages of Prezi when it comes to developing educational material for visual learning and the organization of it.

1. Prezi creates a visual impact.  It allows you to import images, maps and PDF files and use them as a canvas. With the cinematic experience of the zoom function, students will feel as if they are transported into a "world" you have designed.

2.       Prezi offers more freedom of navigation. Prezi can be kept in the public domain and therefore allows students to access it from the Internet.

3.       Prezi is a great tool for interactive sessions or group projects. Students can collaborate in real time, in the classroom or at home, to exchange ideas and build the presentation.

4.       You can transfer PowerPoint contents to Prezi with the "PowerPoint Import" function.
