Challenge Based Learning Reflection

The Challenge Based Project was a really great introduction to Prezi presentations. It not only gave us the opportunity to research a certain challenge topic but also gave us the opportunity to work with Prezi. The group I was in chose to do our presentation on the dangers of texting and driving. We looked at the statistics associated with texting and driving, the laws surrounding texting and driving, the awareness about the dangers of texting and driving and also a few short videos clips concerning the topic. Using Prezi for our presentation was really nice because you can share the prezi with your groupmates allowing everyone to work on the project. This is especially nice since it is sometimes hard to schedule group meetings. Also Prezi is a new way of displaying information instead of powerpoint. There are no slides just one large formate that allows you to zoom in on different bits of information without ever leaving the full screen mode. Prezi also allows you to set up a path so by using the arrows keys you can move from on piece of information to the next. Prezi was easy to learn how to use and was definitely a breath of fresh air compared to powerpoint. Here is a link to my website where you can view my groups Prezi presentation.
