Presume

Education is intended to grow, enrich, and enable. To educate someone means they will need to be challenged in order to learn something new, whether it's a new skill, idea, or theory. However, the methodology for educating should also consider different learning styles. With modern technology, separating oneself from the pack requires creativity and digital savvy. That doesn't come easy for everyone. Some people are naturally more creative and artistic; others think more linearly and pragmatic. When a tool or app is designed to help the pragmatic be more creative, it should be designed to teach in a pragmatic way. Trying to build a creative resume for online presentation through Prezi was a difficult task, and that proved to be unsuccessful for me.
One of the first difficulties I ran into was the requirement of a Facebook login. I am not someone that uses Facebook and do not want to, so that was a decision process. I initially tried to find an alternate tool or app that did the same thing. However, there weren't any free versions and I wasn't going to pay just to build something for one assignment. Secondarily, I don't have the creative ability to build an online resume in the manner that the Prezi tool presents itself.
Once I decided to use the tool by recreating my Facebook account, I started having difficulties navigating the product. I have 16 years experience working in online environments and managing digital products. I did not think the Prezi tool navigates easily, and it's not very intuitive. As a result, my attempt at a creative digital resume looks like:

Initially, I was able to add in points along the timeline to show significant moments in my career. However, at some point, when I was trying to add in a new point along the timeline it stopped working as it was and I was unable to recapture what I was originally doing. This is not a tool I would recommend using, specifically to someone that isn't naturally creative.

This experience also reminds me that teachers need to try out any tools before implementing them in the classroom. They should be familiar with how the tool works and any potential hindrances or challenges students could face when using it.
