Prezi

= Prezi =

According to Prezi.com: "At Prezi, we're all about helping people understand each other better. Presentations have not evolved much in the 50 years since the slide was invented, but Prezi is changing that. Prezi lets you bring your ideas into one space and see how they relate, helping you and your audience connect. Zoom out to see the big picture and zoom in to see details..."

= Why Prezi? = Prezi is a great alternative to a PowerPoint. It incorporates all of the elements of a PowerPoint that you might assign students, including synthesis of images and text, use of bulleted text, and embedding videos and links. It also exposes students to technology tools beyond typical PowerPoints skills, including graphic organization and graphic design. By assigning a prezi project, you are augmenting the technology and presentation skills that students use repeatedly in high school, college, and beyond.

Teachers can create a Prezi instead of a Powerpoint to introduce a new topic, unit or book. Students stay engaged and focused as they watch images, text, and links zoom into focus on the screen. Teachers can easily convert favorite PowerPoint slide to images and embed them into a Prezi; by adding animation, images and links, you can breath new life into a dated presentation with a few simple clicks!
