Favorite Things: Prezi

Prezi.com is one of my newer favorite things. What is it? A web based software (Flash based) that allows for the creation of presentations with the greatest of ease. What is the difference between Prezi and PowerPoint. Prezi is designed for the 21st Century.  (PowerPoint has been kicking around since 1987!)  Prezi "transitions" impress.  Prezi also allows for storytelling to happen, not forcing you to follow your slides.  Prezi is a must for those with "smart boards".   You can zoom in and out, review and possibly the best feature is that a 'prezi' can be embedded into a website.  Which could allow students to review and share the information to create greater transferrence.

Prezi is free to signup, if you signup with an email address from an education institution there are perks with it. Check out Prezi in 3 minutes.
