Web 2.0

It is always a daunting task to describe what you are working on. This seems amplified when that discussion is supposed to be visually engaging and captivating.  The audience shouldn't simply undertand the action plan. They should be rivited to it like they are at some action film. For me, the question has been, where do I start. Which platform is the best for getting my point across in an engaging way. It was my fear that the wrong platform that would be less enagaing to use but easy for me to work with would act to diminsh the point of my action, which is teachers using technology. Therefore, it had to be a combination of snazzy graphics, eye catching navigation and be cutting edge. The first technology I had to cut off my list was a powerpoint presentation. There is not a platform more flat and disinteresting than powerpoint. At this point in educational history, I think we have all been powerpointed to death (hence the term "death by powerpoint). So, I knew right away to scratch that off the list. Prezi is newer, has some interesting navigation but its graphics are just ok. It might work so I wont table it completely yet. "Storyoard That" seemed like a winner but I am not sure of the learning curve involved in using it. It has some interesting possibilities. Go Animate a web based animation solution looked very cool and i will begin playing with it but still not sure which way to go. Stay tuned and I will let you know which one I choose.
