Ultimate Student Collaboration: Prezi Mesopotamia

This week, we have a unique opportunity to work together to produce a dynamite product. Picture this: 130 students working together on the same piece of poster board. What do you see? Well, if you are like me, you would see a lot of chaos. It would be way too crowded, not enough room for people to work, people complaining that they aren't getting a turn, just overall not a good situation. So, lets avoid the chaos but still work together. To do that, we shall turn to Prezi. I have attached a Prezi to this post AND the link for YOU to edit it. That's right, the Mesopotamia review Prezi is a clean slate, waiting for you people to work on it and turn it into a dynamic review tool. You can work on this in school or outside of school. All you need is the internet. Multiple people can work on this at the same time. Whatever you add to the Prezi, include your first name and last initial so we all know where the info came from. Add information, add pictures, you could even add a YouTube video about Mesopotamia. The possibilities are endless. Can't figure out how to do it? That's okay, just try your best and if you still can't figure it out, see me at school. This is not a grade, but my hopes would be that we all participate and make this a quality product.
Add to this Prezi (then click "Edit Prezi")

Task: Add Mesopotamia information to the Prezi. Use your notes to get information. Add pictures of all the major things from Mesopotamia such as Ziggurats, Rivers, Cuneiform, wheel, irrigation, etc.



Review Tool Product.

I just learned how to use Prezi in my teaching technology class. Your use of Prezi as allowing multiple people to edit the Prezi seems like a great idea! Thanks for adding me on School 2.0, I'm just starting to learn how to use social networking to learn from other teachers. Great blog!
