One specific social studies objective for second grade students is to be able to identify urban, rural, and suburban communities. To help introduce this concept I have created an interactive discussion tool using Prezi. It was my first time experimenting with the format and I recognize that I still have a lot to learn. However, I can see that this might be an interesting tool for presenting lots of different themes, as well as for students to share their understanding of our topics of study.
Types of Communities on Prezi
Have you used Prezi in your classroom? Do you see ways it might be useful? Do you have any great resources about urban, suburban, and community life that might be fun to add to this work in progress?
Disclosure: This is not an advertisement or personal endorsement for Prezi. I am currently working on a grad class that required me to experiment with the tools and publish my presentation on my educational blog. Thanks for putting up with it:)
I like how you used Prezi for this. Can you give me the address for the Sesame Street clip? I think kids would like this format.
