VFE Template

Note that there is a newer version of this template found here: http://prezi.com/fbbgsrt_vvep/vfe-template-prezi-version-2/

.

The newer version allows the graphic organizer to be edited. This version will no longer be updated.

The icons below are used in Google Earth, Prezis and PowerPoints to indicate an iterm's intended topic focus. Several are from Google Earth's default icon set. They are also posted in a Picasa web album found here: https://picasaweb.google.com/TFG.VFE/IconsForGoogleEarthPlacemarksPrezis

Icons maybe copied within a Prezi or from Prezi to Prezi, if you are viewing in edit mode. To use them for Google Earth placemarks, open the placemark through 'Get Info' (on Macs) or 'Properties' (on PCs) and click on the pushpin icon in the upper right. Then, either select from the available set, or add the icon's URL by copying and pasting from the Picasa Web Album. A red indicates that the connected file or placemark is a teacher's edition. Additional icons will be added as time and need dictate.

• The questions are written generically, so they may be asked of any site. Subsititute in your own photos.

• Shift, click and drag allows you to highlight multiple objects. You can then copy and paste them, including copying from one Prezi to another.

• You can reorder the layering of images. Right click to allow you to do things like "bring to front."

• There are a few ways to add images. You can upload from your own computer, search Google images and copy and past the URLs of images. See the insert menu.
