Technology has transformed life as we know it, and the classroom looks much different like those before. Nowadays we have a lot of opportunities on using different devices such as; computers, tablets, electronic tables, or different gadgets that help us to create something new and interesting. 

First of all, we need to know what is project-based learning and how can we relate technology through it. Project based learning is becoming widely used in educational process. It is a teaching method in which students collect and gain knowledge or skills by investigating in different sources. We can work in groups or individually. PBL helps us to develop more knowledge as well as creating more critical thinking. I also can relate project-based learning with cognitivism and constructivism. When children use technology on their projects, they could increase the interest of the other students to listen them. Students learn technology skills gradually as they complete activities such as making videos, images publishing a magazine, creating a multimedia storyboard, or developing a website. 

Now I am going to describe the questions we had to answer. 

1. What technology tools are important for your students to know how to use? 

Here I can mention a lot of technology tools that are important on the lesson process. 

-PowerPoint is a very interesting tool on presenting and preparing projects. 

     -Microsoft publisher is a great tool for creating magazines, newsletters, newspapers, leaflets, postcards, cards, etc.  I have used it since I was in 9th class, where we have to make a newspaper.  In fact, it was a great thing when you handle the product in your hand and you see how the use of technology helped you to make it. 

• -Prezi has become nowadays one of my favorite tools to present projects on the lesson process. Students can use it online because it has some paid features and it doesn't give you a lot opportunities, but it is a very attractive tool. 

• -also, there are different tools that I am becoming familiar with. Those tools are included on Adobe pocket and Animaker programs. 

2. What technology tools will best enhance your students project work and presentation of the results? 

The use earth different tools or programs on student's project works has become more interactive and more colorful on those days where technology is everywhere we open our eyes. A major advantage of digital tools used is better engagement in the classroom and those can you increase students and teacher’s curiosity.  

I can’t separate any of the programs, but if I had to select one, it would be PowerPoint. This for many reasons, as this tool offers different varieties of usage and options. Here you can create slides, you can create videos, also you can add voice record and subtitles on slides. Another option that it offers is that you can create imaginative movements with vectorial images on pages. 

  I think that this is not enough when I have to talk about technology on project-based learning, because there are varieties of things and apps that can help us to create imaginative and attractive projects. 

To sum up, I want to share with you some links where I have worked different projects using PREZI.
