I am a 5th grade English teacher at an all-boys' school. Join me on my journey as I reflect on the thinking and learning that takes place in my classroom.

Using Prezi in the Classroom
Prezi.com is a nonlinear presentation that allows so many options that a PowerPoint can't. It is a great way to display information, and at the same time, provide visual representations by uploading pictures or videos, drawing arrows or lines, highlighting, etc. It is a great way for a visual learner to analyze a sentence for parts of speech. The frames on Prezi can help to organize and keep ideas separate, and a path can be created for the order in which the information can be presented.
I have created a Prezi presentation for teaching the function of linking verbs, a skill that 5th grade students have trouble grasping. Check out my first attempt here.
Other examples of great Prezi presentations that I found:
*Myst Writing
*Learn Prezi
I am excited about how it can be used for so many purposes!
