I usually have students present a historical figure presentation to tie in culture and language in class.  They have to either use PowerPoint or any other online resource which they are familiar with.  Over 2 years ago, one student asked me if she could use Prezi which, in her words, was a more interactive version of PowerPoint.  I said of course as long as the presentation requirements were met.  Every so often I have students do their presentations with Prezi if they so desire. I recently enjoyed a Prezi presentation a student used and asked her to show me what template she used and she showed me after class.  This template is the one I ended up using for this assignment 🙂 Here is my Prezi Presentation.

Coursework in relation to online classes, as defined by Ko & Rossen 2010, are “all  the software tools, digital materials, and resources used as course materials to deliver an online class”.  A few resources that grabbed my attention was Voki, from YouTube video.  I love that you can integrate audio with images and avatars.  It also mentions there’s multiple options to integrate video/images/audios allowing even shy students to share their ideas and voice, or other formats of oral communications.  Voki was also mentioned in Chapter 9, as well as others such as DoInk.com and Fuzzwich amongst others. I plan to integrate these in my regular class (Computer Lab Trip :p ) to start experimenting with them 🙂
