Emaze Presentation Review
This week I decided to do my Cool Review on a presentation site called emaze. I really loved this site; this site is very similar to Prezi, but I think it might be easier to use and share. This tool gives you the opportunity to create a presentation that is more than just a plain PowerPoint. It has more of a flow with the presentation that makes what you are talking about visually appealing. It allows you to pick out a layout and you are able to add you own text and images as you please. Here is a link to what I did with the tool. 10/10 for this tool for me!!
I would definitely use this tool in my classroom. If I was working with older students I think having my lectures using this site would keep this all engaged. They would enjoy it because it is something a little different than they are used to and it feels like they are riding along with the information because of the transition that are in between the slides.
As for my students using this tool, I would say that would have to depend on how old they are. Since I am early childhood, which is a range from age 3 to grade 3 and potentially through grade 5, I would not let my preschoolers use this. But if I was teaching 4th or even 5th grade I would definitely have my students use this tool. I think a child who is in 5th grade would enjoy and flourish with a tool like this, because I think many times we limit the abilities that our students have because we think they are too young to have the necessary skills. So yes, I would use this tool with my older students because I think they would enjoy the challenge and opportunity.
