AVID Experts Project: PowerPoint, Prezi and Xtranormal

Once you have answered many of the questions from the comment box, it's time to put all your research and information into a presentation that you will give to the class.  You could go with the old stand-by, PowerPoint.  You all probably know how to use it well, so this is probably the easiest option.

However, there are two other presentation options you should know about, and they are more fun because they are new and different. The first is called Prezi, and it is easy to use and fun to watch and very dynamic.  Here is a sample of a Prezi presentation.  Go to any of the presentations at this site and wait for it to download, and then simply hit the forward button to advance frames:   http://prezi.com/explore/ 

The second option is xtranormal.com, which is also quite easy to use.  This is a cartoon software that teaches through dialog.  Two characters that you create will talk to each other.  Here is an example:  http://www.xtranormal.com/watch/6305835/xtranormal-example  .  Of course, if you use this great software, you would have one of the characters asking questions and the other answering them about your field of study.

Now, there is a fourth option for those of you who are ambitious.  You could combine two or even all three options.

Remember:  Your goal is to present all the information you gathered so your classmates can learn about it.  It doesn't matter how you do it as much as the information itself.
