Reflections on Day 3.
Power-point session was refreshing to update oneself and learn new ways to improve presentation such as including video clips in a slide, creating sounds etc.. Power point presentation is one of the best tools for a teacher provided it is used properly. because it can absorb so much information does not translate to that the message is received, therefore it should only be complementary in lecture and sole tool used. Having used wiki yesterday one notices that some of the functions can be reused again for power point to certain extent.
Picasa can be useful but I find it not be so different from other programmes that can also edit photos. What makes me little reluctant is the fact that Picasa needs extra registration therefore personally I would prefer in this case to use those available already as package in a computer.
Prezi is certainly interesting tool however it requires more time to learn. The basic movements/action need to be practiced more to obtain control of the mouse and all the movements, it feels like learning ice skating.

Yes, digging a bit deeper into the different features of PP was fun, agree that it should be used carefully. What is great with Picasa is that it goes with the Google account, hence you´re already there when you log on to your mail account. The ease by which you can upload was a great feature, very slick! The Prezi-experience was interesting, take some time to get used to. I sure felt like Bambi on ice too.
