Week # 5 Presentations

To be honest, I suprised myself at how much fun this was..... at least once I learnt how to insert photos and so on. 

I think I will be using this a lot and am already thinking of ways to use it with the upcoming Library and Literacy lessons at the start of term 3. 

As one of my passions is Girl Guiding - I have been a leader now for almost 30 years - I thought I would stick with what I know for the presentation.  To start with, I cheated and just transferred a powerpoint straight into Prezi - and was startled at how easy it was.  So I stepped up my game and actually spent some time making up a presentation.  A couple of nasty comments at the computer later and there it was.

I did try to embed the code in the blog - but I just ended up with half a page of 'stuff' that didn't seem to take me to anything - hence the link above.

<div class="prezi-player"><style type="text/css" media="screen">.prezi-player { width: 550px; } .prezi-player-links { text-align: center; }</style><object id="prezi__2de4uzbuwek" name="prezi__2de4uzbuwek" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="550" height="400"><param name="movie" value="http://prezi.com/bin/preziloader.swf"/><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"/><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"/><param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff"/><param name="flashvars" value="prezi_id=_2de4uzbuwek&amp;lock_to_path=0&amp;color=ffffff&amp;autoplay=no&amp;autohide_ctrls=0"/><embed id="preziEmbed__2de4uzbuwek" name="preziEmbed__2de4uzbuwek" src="http://prezi.com/bin/preziloader.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="550" height="400" bgcolor="#ffffff" flashvars="prezi_id=_2de4uzbuwek&amp;lock_to_path=0&amp;color=ffffff&amp;autoplay=no&amp;autohide_ctrls=0"></embed></object><div class="prezi-player-links"><p><a title="Girl Guides Tennant Creek" href="http://prezi.com/_2de4uzbuwek/girl-guides-tennant-creek/">Girl Guides Tennant Creek</a> on <a href="http://prezi.com">Prezi</a></p></div></div>

If you have any suggestions for making the embed work, I would love to hear them.  I think I followed all the instructions correctly - but I guess not as the above 'stuff' doesn't seem to do anything.

  1. Hmm since Google most unkindly changed their interface recently, a lot of the embed functions are not working as they used to, i have a sneaky suspicion that the blog editor is not yet able to accept less common kinds of embed code because many people have had the same problem, I will go and have a play and get back to you...
    As for your prezi, very cute!! Glad you had fun with this one ;o)
