One of my projects over spring break was putting together a video and finishing a Prezi for our I’m Going to College curriculum. Our fifth grade will be learning about postsecondary options, including what kind of degrees are needed for different careers, how to pay for college, and what to look for when high school is done. We will end our curriculum with a trip to EOU to speak with college students and find out what life is like in college.

This Prezi and Youtube upload are just the first part in this series. Many thanks to the staff members at our school who were willing to take a few minutes to help me out with this project. One note about Prezi and Youtube: Although it’s cool to be able to embed a Youtube video within Prezi, I’m not sure I like how Prezi manipulates screen space to not take advantage of standard 16:9 resolution. I’m a full-screen, 1080HD kind of guy. In any event, here are both. I’ll post subsequent lessons/videos as we get to them over the next few weeks.
