For a while now we have been working on creating a project in Prezi about a country. As you know Casey and I have chosen Sweden as our country of topic. Since then we have created a Prezi, added information, audio, and pictures. Right now we are beginning the final stages of our project. We still need to find a TouTube video to include in the Prezi and a few more pictures, plus a work cited "slide". If you don't know what Prezi is, it is a program that is like Microsoft powerpoint or google slides in the sense of being able to present information, but Prezi doesn't really have "slides". Instead Prezi has a big picture look at all of the information that you can then zoom in on in order to see the information being presented more clearly (if that makes any sense).
Prezi allows you to make anything "zoomable". This I found very interesting and cool. We were able to rotate text and then zoom in on it to see it in a straighter way. This isn't as easy to understand without seeing it tough. It was a little difficult to arrange the text in a way that flows, but in the end Casey and I found a good way to go from point to point. In the future I will be able to use Prezi in order to create more dynamic presentation to capture the audiences attention. Update 10/26/16: Here is a picture of our finished Prezi

We have since moved on from fair use and onto another project about a country. My partner Casey and I chose Sweden as our country. To research this country we have used CulturalGrams, Britannica, and World Book to gain information on Sweden. They are all online databases that our school has subscribed to. I like how in CultureGrams you can click on the different tabs of information so it is more organized and easier to read. Britannica on the other hand has one page of information that you have to scroll through. This isn't as convenient and nice to read. After we found our information we put it into NoodleTools. We created note cards on NoodleTools to take down important information. At first I was hesitate towards this because I like to take notes by hand, but as it turns out taking notes on the computer is easier for this project.
