The panic has set in

HOLY MOLY! Who was overwhelmed last night? I was in a mild panic attack by the time class ended. I had a long drive to think and stress about everything that was discussed. When I finally got home I decided it was time to just bite the bullet and start my research. It has been almost 2 years since I have been in the classroom and I feel so technologically out of date. I did not have access to the web module which made locating some of the programs Dr. Smirnova talked about difficult. I tried to find Wibby? (not sure on the spelling, probably why I couldn't find it), however I did find Prezi. Prezi is a type of presentation tool, which from the name now makes sense. It take presentations to a whole new creative level. I downloaded the app for my IPad and started exploring. I ended up watching a few prezis, I really enjoyed a prezi on the Art of Espresso. I was blown away by the amount of work put into this presentation and wondered if I would ever be able to create something of that caliber. These prezis do make me a little scared haha. You know those commerials where kids use powerpoints to convince their parents they need something... oh Lord help me when my girls are old enough. I am off to do homework and more research, thankfully we are having nap time at my house woo hoo :
