Learning about Communication and Collaboration tools

The majority of the past two weeks were focused on creating my presentation. I used the fun, eye-catching Prezi for my presentation. This is a web-based tool that allows the user to create a single canvas of text, images, and videos. This was such a freeing experience. I really enjoyed the zooming in and out of words and images to illustrate a concept or relationship. This YouTube video was very helpful when creating my Prezi presentation. It explained and demonstrated how to import images, videos, and music to make a creative Prezi presentation.

In the past two weeks, we also learned about a variety of communication and collaboration tools such as Google Plus and Google Drive.  

Google Plus is a social network website where you are able to communicate with many kind of individuals including learners if need be. With Google Plus, you can have voice or video conversations by way of a feature called "Hangouts". Here is a link which explicates how to start a "Hangout" conversation: How to Start a Hangout Party. Google Drive allows you to share files and links, access them from anywhere, and collaborate with others. Here is a link where it shows you how to create and share new documents, spreadsheets, and presentations and collaborate with others in real time: Create and Collaborate.
