Review of Prezi

What did you use Prezi for?
I used Prezi to make a presentation for my character evaluation of Sindy from the movie The Freedom Writers.

How easy was it to use Prezi?
I found that some bits of it were easier to use than others, I had some trouble trying to make new pages where I wanted them and it took me some time to figure out how to put pictures and videos onto it but it was easy enough to change the layout and the design of the whole thing. Logging on was a little confusing but after some help I found where to go.

Did you write straight into Prezi, or use a google doc/slideshow first?
I went straight to Prezi, it was easier for me to draft everything where I wanted it instead of doing my work on say a google doc and then move everything to the Prezi slides, I just wrote a brainstorm for each slide then made each slide into a paragraph and went into more detail.

What were you pleased about with your Prezi?
I liked the design of my Prezi and the colours, I found it easy to change the design of my Prezi so I made it look how I wanted, I thought that it suited the story line of being in the city with all the separate gangs.

Is this the best tool for showcasing your knowledge why/why not?
I'm not sure, I found it fun to use but i'm not sure I would use it again unless it was because we were told, I think that there and simpler things out that I can use that can look just as good. But I wouldn't mind using Prezi again.

Electrical Invention

I worked with Zara and Hayley, we made a cardboard house and made a lighting system.

We started by making the house out of cardboard boxes and making walls and a 2nd floor for it.
Then we started experimenting with the wires trying to find the best way to fit the system in the different rooms. After we made the circuit we taped it to the house and hooked up the switches.

A positive thing about making our invention was we got it done quickly and it worked amazingly because we all worked hard.

A minus thing about making our invention was we didn't really work as a team and we sort of did our own thing because there weren't very many jobs.

A interesting thing about out invention was we had to try different ways of getting the system to work because it wouldn't fit inside the house.
