Presentation: The ADDIE Model

 Hello everyone,

For my second presentation this week I’ve created a quick Prezi presentation on the ADDIE model of Instructional Design.

Now days I feel Prezi is a fairly well-known tool amongst educators. Even so, Prezi is a powerful PowerPoint alternative for creating engaging presentations. The great thing about Prezi is that the camera (or point of view) can zoom in and out, and move around the presentation to highlight the relationship between items in the presentation. Whereas a PowerPoint is only capable of flipping back and forth between individual slides, Prezi is uniquely suited to presenting individual bits of information as well as the overall picture.

Was the tool easy to use?

I would say that while many of the features are pretty intuitive and easy to use, Prezi is a difficult program to use correctly. The tools are pretty easy to use, but the design of an engaging Prezi presentation requires a great eye for design and, if you can’t create your own images, take a good bit of luck and/or tweaking to get things right. If you aren’t able to effectively use the zooming and slide transfer features effectively Prezi presentations can quickly turn into PowerPoint like slideshow.

Can you see yourself using this tool with students?

Yes. But not on a regular basis. Creating a Prezi every once in a while can be a fun and engaging experience. But once the initial “wow the camera is flying around” feeling goes away I find Prezi becomes more of a hassle than it is worth. Additionally lately I have been hearing reports that Prezi presentations can make people feel seasick!

What level of Blooms Taxonomy or ISTE standard was addressed with this tool?

The tool itself does not address any single area of Blooms Taxonomy. The subject presented by the tool on the other hand could address any of the three domains of knowledge. My video addressed cognitive knowledge.

Use of this tool could meet many NETS T ISTE standards including (but not at all limited to): 1a, 2a, 3a, 3b, 3d.
