Interaction with content and other learners are important to an online learner. In order to differentiate instruction for various learning levels and learning types, different tools should be used. I selected Powtoons for visual/auditory learners and Easel.ly for learners preferring to read. I like both tools for different reasons. Powtoons attracts attention with movement and sound while Easel.ly uses graphic design to attract attention. Powtoons is a video that can be paused or started over whenever the user needs to do so. I like Prezi but have a friend with MS who has difficulties watching because of the zooming. I'm not sure if this is specific to her, or could be an issue with other people as well. I still like Prezi, but like to prepare the material in an additional format to accommodate those who have difficulty with it.
