Prezi is a popular, free web-based presentation application and storytelling tool that uses a single canvas instead of traditional slides.
Rob Newberry, the Director of Education Technology at Chatsworth International School has been using Prezi for a while now. So rather than me outlining the benefits myself, here’s what Rob had to say after using Prezi Meeting with his students in the classroom:
“ …Prezi Meeting allows students to work with students in other classes, and then other schools, ultimately work with students in other countries around the world.
Prezi is nothing new for Rob: as a teacher he finds it ultimately engaging – the way information is laid out makes it so much more accessible. Similarly, the fact that it is collaborative, can incorporate multimedia, and lends itself nicely for embedding in student’s ePortfolios make it a very powerful tool for organization, presentation and displaying learning. After having used it for a few weeks, Rob thinks the best part of Prezi Meeting is that after one invite – that Prezi is always collaborative. He doesn’t need to keep inviting students to collaborate, and once they invite each other – they are collaborators forever. ..”
There’s a video on the Prezi website that shows how it works, and an introduction embedded below.
For anyone who is trying to move people away from powerpoint, but has not yet tried Prezi, see what's great about it here.
