Prezume

The activity this week was to create a resume using the Prezi presentation program.  Prezi provides a very creative way to generate a presentation.  I have used Prezi before for a short presentation in school but would not have thought to use it for a resume.  I'm still not 100% convinced that I would provide a potential employer only a link when applying for a job but perhaps a pdf and a Prezi link would intrigue an employer.

When creating  My Resume  I found Prezi to be a bit picky and cumbersome.  For example when inserting text if I wanted to move the text box I had to click out to get the hand but had to click into the edit mode to change the text size.  So to get things positioned correctly, I felt that I was going back and forth in and out of edit mode.

Prezi presentations actually make me a bit dizzy but I can understand why young kids would enjoy the movement and creativity of the program.

NETS:
3c - Prezi presentations help to communicate relevant information and ideas to students different technology.
