Sway vs Prezi : comparaison des 2 outils renouvelant l'art des "prez" Prise en main, potentiel en matière d'insertion, de diffusion...
Comparatif des deux solutions de création de présentation. Leur match devrait faire au moins une victime : PowerPoint Il faut avant tout remercier Prezi : c'est cet outil qui a commencé à égayer un peu des présentations limitées à PowerPoint qui commençaient à paraître bien mornes. Prezi a sérieusement donné un coup de vieux au trop incontournable outil de Microsoft, et l'a même carrément ringardiser, avec ses zooms dynamiques presque capables à eux seuls de réveiller captiver une audience. Lancé en 2009 par une entreprise hongroise désormais aussi installée à San Francisco, l'outil a dépassé les 50 millions d'utilisateurs l'année dernière. Le moment est donc opportun pour réaliser une comparaison, assez subjective, et forcément incomplète entre ces deux nouveaux outils qui ont dynamisé un marché assoupi. Comparaison des deux outils : la prise en main Le mode hors ligne est un autre élément différenciant.

Travail collaboratif en classe au primaire à l'aide de Yammer et Sway. 5 Ways Teachers and Students Can Use Sway in the Classroom I bet you never thought that you can use Sway for formative assessment but the insert in tweets feature is what I love most about Sway.
You can easily find tweets by searching hashtags and if you tweet in your classroom than this is the perfect tool to assess with. Still no idea how, here are some tips. The first game is called shape thoughts, Students tweet of the most important idea form the lesson using #triangle (or you can set your own hashtag) #square for how I can use this outside the classroom, #heart for how I feel about using what I learnt and #circle for the thought still going round my head.
Save all tweets in Sway and embed the Sway into your blog or website. Here is another one : students tweet #3 and add three facts they can recall from the lecture, #2 and two reasons why what they have just learnt is important and #1 for a question that they have on the lesson. I'm sure all teachers have used think, pair, share teaching strategy but not using twitter and Sway.
