 * 1. Do you believe that videos can lead to innovation in the classroom? Explain your answer. Completely, especially when shared often. Its a form of communication easily accessible and intriguing to our modern students. Whenever I flip on a short clip in my classroom, I immediately have all eyes focused. Why not use student-made videos to foster and spread learning? My true question would be: any ideas out there for my curriculum? I'd love to brainstorm with someone! **
 * 2. How does Prezi, the tool that Chris Anderson uses in the video, differ from traditional presentation tools for the classroom? It definitely seems more appealing and includes images as well as videos in a stylish way. It is eye-catching and is quite fun to create. **

__**6.6- Create your own Prezi**__

I would love to use Prezi as a teaching tools as one would use a PowerPoint presentation. The biggest and best difference is the **ease** of inserting video into the Prezi. The look of a Prezi is far more appealing than that of typical presentations. I'm sure my students would love to create Prezis of their own. We tried to complete one when creating presentations about our CSL projects last year, however we switched to PowerPoint as time constraints made it difficult to quickly teach the format of a Prezi and then have them create. I'd love to introduce it earlier in the year this year or suggest it to our technology instructor!
