For our Group Leadership Project we explored the course management system, Moodle.  We used Prezi to make a presentation about Moodle and its capabilities.  Then after developing the Prezi, we used Jing to record the presentation.  We used Jing to record the presentation because of its ease of use and it is what we felt most comfortable with.  The only downside that I have found with Jing is that it only allows you to record five minutes at a time.  This is the reason you see three different parts of our presentation.

I learned a lot about the capabilities of Moodle and Prezi during the development of the final product.  In particular, I learned that you can manipulate almost any image to fit into a Prezi.  With that in mind, I think Prezi gives the user more capabilities than traditional presentation tools.

If I had to develop a similar product again I think I would try out more of the capabilities of the technological tool being implemented.  I have learned a lot by studying the capabilities of Moodle and using some of the options in the class I am teaching.  However, I think I learn best by doing and this would have been an awesome opportunity to try all of the features as I was learning about them.
