PREZI Prezi Website :  www.prezi.com What is Prezi? Prezi  is a web-based tool for creating presentations (called  prezis  for short). It's similar to other presentation software like Microsoft PowerPoint, but it offers some unique features that make it a good alternative. In recent years, it has become popular in schools and businesses. If you're looking to create a presentation that's a bit more eye-catching and engaging, Prezi may be for you. How does a prezi work?

What Is Blendspace?  As I work on integrating more technology into my classroom, I’ve focused on what I thought was an area that could use some improvement, and found that there was a disconnect occurring. I realized I needed a better way to communicate and collaborate with my students and for them to access help when they needed it and the resources that would help them to be successful. And we were having a positive impact on my classroom, which came in the form of solving problems of lost papers, forgotten assignments, and missed learning opportunities due to class absences.  I began searching for another way to make some improvements and found a tool called Blendspace. You can use a free TES Teach with Blendspace account to create linear lessons to guide students through basic content. For instance, a language teacher could share a lesson about poem and short story and upload links, images and videos, text, and short quizzes to help build student knowledge. Have students d
