Technology In The Classroom

Draft and questions...grrr...

The grrr always translates to frustration on my part.  It has taken me MUCH longer than it should have to come up with a final presentation idea.  However, I'm still not certain what I'm doing is what I want to be doing.  I am currently attempting a Prezi with technology I've learned and used over the quarter.  However, I'm now stuck trying to insert a picture or a website into the Prezi but am having a little difficulty as it only seems to like PDFs.  So my thought was to include a time line of technology in the classroom, but once again I had to go on an excursion to find a site that produces time lines to my preference.  As I have been working with 5th grade students on multi-tier time lines, I was hoping to find a site that would allow me to create them, however I was unsuccessful.  I did find an interactive site that I really enjoyed and was easy to work with called www.timetoast.com.  It presented things in a more exciting version than the xtimeline site suggested in the discussion and could be displayed in two different styles, the interactive time line view and the list view.  So, there has been some mild success.
