Project Presentations: Day 3

My favorite tool presented today was Prezi. I always love it when people present in class using Prezi, and I’ve been curious about the tool. I think it’s really cool that the tool is so versatile, and it definitely shakes up the typical PowerPoint format. I think that it functions to grab the audience’s attention. […]

Blog Post for October 17, 2014

I think I would be most likely to use Easelly. The design is captivating and beautiful. Apparently it’s very easy to use and the products in the powerpoint examples looks really, really good. I think this tool could be immensely useful for presenting information in a professional manner.

Site Review: Popcorn maker

What is is: It is published by Mozilla and similar to iMovies, but for beginners. There are similar features to iMovie because there are drag and drop tools, songs, and different layering options to create innovative movies. Why it’s interesting: This is a free site that you can personalize to make movie creation easy for […]

The One With the Last Day of Presentations

10/17/14 – Final day of presentations

I liked Draft the best out of all the presentations today. As a writer, it seems like a great tool. The editing features seem awesome, it seems functional, and I’m very curious about “Hemingway Mode.” The editing features seem way simpler and more useful than Word’s. Definitely going to give it a try!

More Interesting Presenations!

Presentations Day 2

Of the sites that were presented today, the interface that I found the most interesting was Pixlr. There are many reasons I like this website. It is the only interface I feel like I would get a true benefit from. Also, the interface can be used either via mobile app or web app. This makes […]

The One With the Second Day of Presentations

So yesterday was day two of presentations and honestly I liked the pixlr interface the most. I thought it was a fun way to edit pictures on your computer instead of using Instagram where the photos are only saved to your phone. I think I was also partially biased to this one because it was […]
