Thing 11 - Visual Learning

Above is the prezi presentation I created on the Periodic Table of Elements.  I included an image of the periodic table and video.  I am not sure how to compare Prezi to Power Point.  Prezi seems more engaging, meaning, the ability to zoom in on images and make the presentation more dynamic then Power Point.  I think everything I did in Prezi can be done in Power Point, including adding video and images and linking the slides in whatever order is desired.  I think once the Prezi is created, it is easier to "jump" around from slide to slide then w/Power Point and you can edit more easily on the fly versus Power Point.  A question I have is, are only PDF files able to be downloaded?  I don't know if I spent anymore time working w/Prezi then I would of w/Power Point.  If I did spend more time, it is because this is the first time that I have really used Prezi. 

Part 2

The above image is of some of the noble gases on th periodic table.  Zoomit will be useful to highlight important information to keep the learners engaged.  On the Zoomit site, it says that Zoomit "which lets you smoothly and efficiently explore the whole image, no matter how large."  I do think I am able to do similar things using my Smart Board as well.
