Prezume

Making my resume into a Prezi template was actually very fun and user friendly!  It is attractive and much more appealing in comparison to my other resume.  I made my resume stand out in the crowd due to creating a Prezume. I like how I did not have to design a model, but rather choose from the whiteboard, desktop, or timeline template.  I chose the desktop template because it was engaging to me and "provided an intuitive visual metaphor to illustrate you skills and experience."  After choosing the template, I pulled up my resume and started filling in my education, interests, experience, references, and skills.  Below is a screen shot of my Prezume.

Even though most of the students I am eligible to teach are younger, this activity would be great to introduce them to.  I could show them my Prezume and discuss the uses of a resume.  I could also use a prezi presentation to teach content knowledge, which would be much more engaging in comparison to lecture, lecture, lecture! It would even be wonderful to incorporate this digital age media into their learning by having them create a Prezi as a project instead of using the basic presentation options like PowerPoint.

This activity relates to the ISTE NETS T standard 3: Model Digital-Age Work and Learning.  It relates to this standard because teachers can use Prezi as a digital teaching tool to introduce knowledge in a technological manner.  As a teacher, you could model Prezi and then use it with the students to further enhance their creativity and design skills.  I think this also relates to standard 5 because of the professional development aspect.  By displaying all of your knowledge and accomplishments on a resume that is digital, it shows your future employers why it is important and beneficial to hire you.
