-Review of Socrative-
Today we learned how to another useful application called ‘Socrative’. It is basically an educational tool and a student response system that helps teachers to engage their students through educational games or exercises. It is able for teachers to prepare and create quizzes through using this tool via smartphones, laptops, and tablets. In order to access to this application, teachers have to go to Socrative.com, sign up for it and are able to create their own quizzes. After creating quizzes, it will provide room number and students have to type the room number, can join the room and solve questions. One of the advantages of this tool is using it for free. It also enables teachers to check who did and who did not and the grade right after students complete questions. In addition, they are able to create quizzes in several formats such as multiple choice, short answers and true and false and include images and explanations. However, it is slow and takes a long time when loading. I don’t think it is an internet connection problem. Also, it would be nice if it provides other language websites so it can be used in the entire world. Overall, it was very convenient, easy and simple to sign up and use. I believe that this application is able to increase attention and interests of students on what they are learning. It enables teachers interact with students and saves their time. Also, it can help students reviewing and understanding more easily.

Today we learned how to use ‘Prezi’ program. Basically Prezi is a program that is used as a presentation tool. It can be used for everyone after creating an ID online. Unlike PowerPoint, it is offered both online and offline for free and has a function of zooming in and out and rotating the pages. Zooming in and out is the main function of Prezi that is differentiated from PowerPoint. Using Prezi as a presentation tool is an efficient way in which to present and deliver the information more dynamically to audiences. After I explored Prezi, I found a number of advantages of this program. Firstly, it is offered free since you don’t have to download software such as PowerPoint. All you need to do is registering online. Also it is possible to create very unique and exclusive presentation to make audience interested in and grab their attention. Moreover, it is an accessible program to use it anywhere with a variety of devices such as a computer, tablet pc or smart phone etc. on the internet and also able to work with others at the same time online when doing a group project. On the other hands, it is more complicated than PowerPoint to deal with and has a limited space for adding files. In addition, it would distract audiences, especially old people, due to dynamic movement of the pages. To sum up, it was my first time to experience Prezi today. It is a very innovative and fancy program to use as a presentation tool. I was extremely impressed and attracted by Prezi, because PowerPoint was the only presentation tool I knew before. What I like the most about it is to make a presentation creatively and interestingly and help you to create it in your own style. Also I loved when I realized that I can easily access to this program anywhere -Review of presentation tool- the internet. Therefore, I believe that I don’t need an alternative tool of Prezi and highly recommend to anyone who haven’t explored it yet.

Review of blogger
-Review of Blogger-
First of all, I would like to use a blog as a diary. It is very easy and simple to use for everyone. People can post their good or bad experiences or thoughts on their blog. The posts on the blog will not be erased or disappear unless they delete the posts from it. It can help them to keep their memory so they can find and see the posts later whenever they want to see.
Secondly, I can share information and interests with others through a blog. Nowadays, since using internet or smartphone is generalized, most of people have their own blog and post their thoughts, interests and useful information on the blog. For example, people often post what restaurant they went to and what movie they watched and review how they were on the blog, so their friends can use the information to find which one is good.
Lastly, I can use it as an educational tool. I can post extensive information and educational materials on a blog so students can share and use the materials such as a video or sound file easily and fast from the blog. Also, it is easier to share educational data or information with other teachers on the blog so the students can see them from the blog and use them for educational purpose.
