I found information on Prezi on a collection of Web 2.0 websites and immediately thought it looked like a great site to use in my classroom. Prezi is a cloud-based site that allows students to create digitally enhanced presentations. A zoomable canvas enables the presentation to flow from one slide to another. The presentation zooms in on certain parts or slides and creates visually appealing presentations.
This site was originally created in 2009 and has become a worldwide phenomenon. I believe this site is very useful for students and allows students to create their own digital presentations. Most students know how to use power points, but this tool is a new and efficient presentation choice. It makes presentations colorful, unique, and interesting so students actually pay attention when a student presents in class. Students are able to brainstorm and come up with a variety of different setups for their information.
Prezi incorporates the ISTE-NETS T and ISTE-NETS S standards. It encourages teachers to facilitate and inspire student learning and creativity and model digital age work and learning. Students can use creativity and innovation, communication and collaboration, and technology operations and concepts.
Below is a sample of a Prezi presentation, and it is easy to tell how it differs from a powerpoint.
