1. An overview of the technical aspects: what can this technology do? (3 marks)
Of the many presentation software reviewed, I have chosen the presentation software Prezi. I chose Prezi as I had not researched it prior to this course, and when I read through Just Croxton's '36 Presentation Software & Powerpoint Alternatives For 2017' (2017), I noted that it is listed as "Perfect for - Educators...[and] Students" (Croxton, 2017).

2. A discussion of the legal, safety and ethical protocols that should be considered when working with this technology (1 mark) I would have to refer to my previous comments in Embedded Task 2 regarding copyright. The terms of service for Prezi are similar to other such sites with legal, safety and ethical protocols covered. Please see Figures 6 for information regarding legal, safety and ethical protocols, and Figure 7 for pertinent information regarding age restrictions (less than 13 yrs not allowed): 3. Suggestions about how this tool might be used in your teaching context. (2 marks). Using the SAMR model and the questions in Figure 8, this is how I would apply SAMR using Prezi when teaching students Java in IT for the following task that I would give to students (note: this is what I have put in my Prezi presentation): "Create a Prezi presentation of how you used Java in your assignment - instead of writing an assessment piece".
