The first tool I tried was Prezi. I found it a little hard to figure out at first, but then it got a little easier. I liked that you could video. That would be something I could probably incorporate during a virtual learning activity. Next, I tried Haiku Deck. There were a lot of images I could access, and I liked that I could type in what I wanted and get a list of images. You are only allowed three decks, and they seemed to really want my credit card info. It did seem to be easy enough to navigate, but it wasn’t my favorite. Emaze offered a lot of options of things to create. It can be used in the classroom, but I think I would rather use if for personal use. You can create photo albums and make ecards. I didn’t really feel like it would be as useful in school. My last and favorite was Genially. It asked for my role and age group that I teach. It had options like presentations, infographics, video presentations, and interactive images. There were a ton of presentation templates, so you can go basic or psychedelic. There was a template for everyone. Here is my summer presentation…

Hi Ashlee,
I love the template you used, especially the colors. So beachy and fun! This was a great example of showing the features of Genially.
Ashlee,
I had a similar experience with Prezi. I am going to try Genially. I like your slide transitions on your presentation and your subject 🙂 Fun and slightly crazy (in a great way) to take so many kids!
I agree with you that Genially was user friendly and fun to use. I really liked how you used the template for your beach slide. It was really cute and I liked the colors a lot. Incorporating your family vacation pictures was great, too. It looked like a lot of fun 🙂
Great Job! I liked the simplicity of Haiku, but like you, was aggravated that they kept wanting my credentials. I picked Genially as well for my presentation. I love the beach as well!
