Today was very similar to last week.  Presentation after presentation after presentation.  Though they are rarely interactive, it is fun to see the variety of thematic units and presentation styles.  One student provided a previously recorded presentation.  She apparently does online classes for her students that are uploaded to YouTube.  I found it very informative, original, and effective. Several students used PowerPoint and Prezi.  My favorite presentation was displayed through iMovie.  Any presentation that shows the students working and actually learning in the classroom are my absolute favorite.  It makes the presentation enjoyable and peaks my interest.  Students love to be on film and in the spotlight.  These are great insights into the classroom.

The two quick classes I attended included InfuseLaerning and Zite.  Infuse is similar to secretive, and last week i learned a little about it.  This week was more in-depth and informative.  I really like the Zite app.  It pulls news that I am interested in and want to read. This will be a nice substitute to what I am currently using.  I love the bits of hints and tips pertaining to cooking and food. I will love this app!

The rest of the class was presentations, including my own.  I feel that it went fairly well.  The preparation leading up to this was a bit stressful, but worth the battle. I am definitely ready for the 2.0 class coming up next.
