I designed a digital text that is could be used in a Fashion Strategies class. The text is on Little Black Dresses. In my class I would use it as an example of a presentation the students could do on an element of fashion. Students would not be required to use Prezi but it would be an option for them to use as they present their research on their chosen element or article of fashion.

I chose this project because I believe that digital literacy plays a huge role in being successful in today's world and I would like to get my students familiar with different digital presentation options. Ideally, my students would be working on their digital presentations during class so I would be able to help them with programs they are not familiar with.

As I did this assignment I realized that not understanding a program can be very frustrating. I consider myself pretty technologically savvy and I still had issues figuring out this new program so I imagine that my students who are not familiar with technology would need a lot of help being literate in whatever program they choose.

I think that Prezi is a great medium and that my student would like watching and making presentations with Prezi and would like to give them that option in my classroom.
