Tech Tool #1
Wordle is a website that allows you to make a collage of words. The most repeated words are those that are bigger. The site allows you to change how the collage looks as well. This site is a good tool to use, and could be used in many ways. Wordle is vary easy tool to use, and doesn't take much skill. For my collage, I used Fort Minor, Remember The Name.

It is a good site to use, and could be used to do many things, from just having fun, to teaching. It is an easy and friendly site, and can easily be used, as its not hard to figure out.
Tech Tool #3
Prezi is a website that allows you to create a presentation to present the information you want in a fun and formidable fashion. It is a bit like PowerPoint, but it is a bit more complicated. After using it myself, it seems easy to use and navigate the site. It allows you to create a fun and interesting presentation. Because it is pretty easy to use, most anyone could use it, and it could be used for really anything you want. The benefits of using Prezi are pretty good. It gives you some good choices of how you can present what you want in a fun way, but if your want more options, you will have to pay.
Staff Picks on Prezi
Small Business Saturday Prezi
https://prezi.com/0vzvvupzyvdq/small-business-saturday-prezi/#
The prezi designed for Small Business Saturday gives what the day exactly means. The Prezi tells you that Small Business Saturday is a day on the sixth of December when in the UK they promote support, inspire and promote the small businesses of the communities. They also want to encourage the use of small businesses by the consumer. The Prezi then then tells you how to participate in this day at the end, giving you websites you can go to to support small businesses. This Prezi was intersting, and made me want to keep looking into this day.

Compared to PowerPoint...
Prezi is a great way to present your subject in a entertaining and reasonable easy fashion. Compared to PowerPoint, Prezi seems like the better choice. To me Prezi seems to be easier to use, and it is a lot more entertaining to look at when viewing the presentation.
