1. Robert Gagne's nine events of instruction is a useful teaching tool. It is almost a generic way of teaching that you could apply to most lessons, in any subject. It would help the teacher organize his or her thoughts about the lesson, and the progression of the lesson. It would also help keep students focused and engaged in the lesson.
We also learned about three types of interactions in the classroom: student to student, instructor to student, and student to content. To keep students fully engaged, it would be important to use all three types of interactions. You could fit most of Gagne's events into the different types of interactions as well. The students in your classroom would be engaged and interested in the entire lesson, from start to finish.
2. Creating a Prezi meets several of the ISTE standards. Standard 1b says "students create original works as a means of personal or group expression." I think Prezi is a great example of original work that is used to create an awesome presentation. It is different every time and students can reflect their subject matter through the Prezi. I also think it meets Standard 6d. Prezi is a new type of presentation. Students can take their knowledge of PowerPoint, apply it, and create something totally new.
