Heretofore!

Instructional Tech is moving right along. Fourth week into the program and I wonder why heretofore there was never a similar class at the undergraduate level, required for business students. Over the past four weeks now I have been introduced to an onslaught of instructional resources, most of which fit right into a business program.

Most of our classes, undergraduate and graduate include presentations and many teacher place extreme emphasis on them. In six years of business courses I don't honestly think I can recall the use of a program apart from power point being used for presentations. 

It is interesting to think about, I decide to take this course as an elective, in my last semester of my prior 7 years or so of school and only now I am getting exposed to all of these great ways to collaborate and inform. It will come in handy as undoubtedly I will be continuing to work with people, informing them and collaborating with them and hopefully some of these tools/resources will come in handy.

One tool of which so far is Prezi which I was recently introduced too. This program is fantastic. As a group (History of IT) we decided to utilize this tool and is has been pretty interesting so far seeing what were are able to do with it with so little to get used to it. Looking forward to seeing what other tools are utilized for this presentation on Wed.
