Welcome to this wiki with members Gary Allen, Claude Chavis, TaShawn Lyle, Charity Morgan, and Nancy Musice.

We are students in the Walden University course, EDUC 8841 Diffusion and Integration of Technology in Education.

This wiki has been created so that we can collaborate on innovations such as the Apple i-Pad, Second Life, Digital Textbooks, and Mobile Learning.

Take a few minutes and click on the names on the left of the screen to view each of our innovation storyboards.

Taking a completely different approach to the entire concept of software for presentations, Prezi stands alone as a unique and wholly viable competitor to PowerPoint. With a “prezi”, users display words, images, and videos without using “slides” at all. Instead, individual pieces of the presentation are digitally deposited on a single oversized canvas, and the creator has the option to zoom in (or out) surprisingly far, so that elements of the presentation remain hidden until it becomes time for them to come into focus on screen. After all elements are in place, the creator establishes a click-path, so that when the presentation is finally run for an audience, the “camera” whisks around the canvas, panning as needed, zooming in and out, and even swirling around in spirals when moving from one waypoint to the next. The transitions are smooth, mesmerizing, and infinitely more interesting than the transitions and animations available in PowerPoint and similar products. []
