Troy Tech Shelf
Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories.
Learn it in three with me!
In Each Tech Shelf issue we will highlight a topic to help you utilize technology in your classroom. This month we'll focus on presentation tools.
Need ideas to get your students excited about presenting in the classroom? Try using one (or more! ) of these resources to spark creativity in your students.
Prezi
Prezi is presentation software that uses motion, zoom, and spatial relationships to bring ideas to life and make great presentations.
