New Thinking From Class

From class today, I learned about Prezi which is an online presentation program.  This seems like a very good resource to use when making presentations.  Because it is online you can easily put it on the class wiki or your blog so it can be viewed by others.  Unlike Powerpoint, you don't have to have a special program on your computer to view this presentation. 

I also learned some additional ways to check for a website's credibility than I had listed in a previous post.  I learned a new word: Triangulation.  Triangulation is one way to check websites credibility.  You would check various sites and sources to make sure the information is the same.  If the information differs, then you know it is not credible.  
I also learned that you can shorten up the URL to see where it takes you and how far back you can go.  This is another good way to check for a sites credibility. 

I have not used the Smart Board very much, so I learned a lot in the few minutes that we took to go over some of the other things you can do with the Smart Board.
