Prezi and the ISTE NETS Standards

Prezi is such a great tool for incorporating technology into the classroom. A prezi would fit into many of the ISTE NETS standards. The first standard is "Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity". By using Prezi in a lesson plan, a teacher would be able to use the content that is neccesary to teach the students and present it in a new way. By doing this, the students may be more engaged in the lesson, which can lead to a more successful learning environment. A prezi is creative in itself, but by using it in the classroom, or having the students use a Prezi, it exposes them to a whole different way of looking at information. If a student is working with Prezi for their own assignment, they are able to create their own work. This helps the students plug into new technology while still having an educational experience. Working on a Prezi reveals the thinking, planning, and creative process of everyone in the classroom; not only the students. By using a Prezi in the classroom, it would fit the first Standard and many others in the ISTE NETS standards.
