**Tools:** A variety of tools can be incorporated into instructional design. Some are used in face to face environments while others are used online. Most can be used in either environment. Visit the Prezi link below to see examples of Prezi presentations I've designed and implemented. - Prezi: A creative presentation tool that lends itself to a more non-linear progression of ideas (Link to my Prezis page) - Promethean: A collection of products including an interactive whiteboard and learner response devices. This link includes a list of training flipcharts I've created. -[| Google Sites:] A Google Site that I created to learn the tool and showcase some of my work. - Voki: A Web 2.0 tool used to create an avatar.
