Smart Notebook Recorder would be good for testing with special education students. It's difficult with inclusion to make testing accommodations without singling out those students. If I could record the questions with the test read aloud, those students could wear headphones and take the test independently. Prezi seems like it would break up the routine enough to engage students.

Interesting... I could use smart board recorder to help students that are absent or need additional time learning the concept being taught - in class or out - as a teacher's aide.

Prezi - I need toknow more

Prezi seems to have a lot of potential in allowing teachers to connect content to other areas in a visually appealing manner.

Prezi is an excellent tool for mini-lessons, esp. social studies!!!

Once I get the smartboard software for home I can record videos to show to class that are not otherwise accessible due to limited or no internet access.

Being an ELA teacher, there are millions of ways I could integrate Prezi.

We can use this in English class to teach stage directions and Freytag's pyramid.

Can also use in science- anatomy- always needing to refer back to diagrams/pictures........

Prezi seemed very interesting. The reocorder tool, is something I would use, help the students especially those who are absent, be able see whats going on.

MCLEAN IS NOT THE BEST.

I really like the notebook recorder, not sure about the Prezi thing yet.
wish we had more time to actually do the things in the lab versus listening the entire time!

I like the Prezi. I can see myself using that currently in the unit we are discussing in class. I think it would be neat for if a student can make one to where they have to pick the important concepts from a unit and make a layout. It makes them think deeper about the unit about what they thinkis important to know and what is minimal.

Prezi seems like a very valuable tool. I like that students can see the big picture for science concepts.
