What is the topic of your presentation, what age group is it geared to and why did you select that? drawing in illustrator. I geared towards high school students because I think they will have had enough experience with basic computer softwares to understand illustrator. Did you encounter any challenges when creating this presentation? Please describe them and how you overcame them. I'm not even keen on adobe software so explaining how to do stuff with it was tough. I used a lot of tutorials to help me. What did you enjoy the most about this project and why? The least? and why? Using prezi. Least joyful was struggling with understanding illustrator. How does Prezi compare to  PowerPoint?  Prezi is a little harder to navigate because of the path. Editing the path is more complicate because you have to move bubbles around to fit it in. http://prezi.com/0mcozxkjz4ep/?utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=copy

I liked being able to explain something new to people that I know nobody knows about. The least joyful part was actually doing it. Do you think you will use tools like  PowerPoint  in your art classroom? Why or why not? I will most likely use powerpoint the most because it is easiest to navigate.
