Danica Marble EDTECH 541 Internet Lesson

Students will research their particular region of Spain, create a prezi presentation to support their oral presentation, and then embed this presentation into their portfolio wiki.
 * Overview**

Students will research using academically acceptable online sources. Students will explore Prezi by creating a presentation, embedding pictures and properly citing their sources.
 * Objectives**

I will begin the lesson sequence by explaining the project from start to finish and answer any questions. I will explain how to research, suggest academic sources and detail how to cite. I will assign each student a region of Spain, giving preference to any students who have been to a certain region or have family in a certain region. I will then showcase the //All About Spain// site ([]). I will ask students to begin their research here. For the rest of this class day, students will research. To start day 2, students will follow along with me (on projector and laptops) to create a prezi account, and we will practice the basics of prezi. I will show a completed example project on another topic so that they can see what they are trying to create. Te rest of the day will be sent creating a prezi while I am there to support students and answer their questions about the prezi logistics. About ten minutes before the bell, I will stop all students and walk through the process of saving and embedding the presentation.. Day three will be presentations about Spain.
 * Description**

Most students are extremely bored with PowerPoint presentations, and prezi offers a new, exciting innovative way to present the same information. All teachers expect that high school sophomores know how to do proper research and citations, but in reality, very few teachers actually teach this. I want to be one of those teachers who take the time to show how to do this.
 * Relative Advantage**

Record presentations using a flip camera and post those on students individual portfolios.
