Tehcnology Tool #2- Prezi

           Prezi

Website URL: http://prezi.com/index/

Prezi is a website designed around the concept of the mind during a presentation is not necessarily in chronological order. This website allows you to create presentations from an entirely different perspective and outline than the typical PowerPoint creation.

Signing up for an account is relatively easy. There are three different types of membership for those who would like to use Prezi for general use. Prezi also allows the option of Prezi for Education called Enjoy EDU which is an upgrade on Prezi. This allows you to have more editing options to your presentations. There is also a 4.99 a month upgrade.

To further this review, this author, registered for an Enjoy EDU account which was simple, you just have to use your GDOE account as well as use the website for GDOE. It's nice when websites acknowledge that teachers need some tools for free.

I found a video on YouTube which is a fantastic example of a Prezi Presentation. Please click the video next to the title of this blog.

The website provides templates for you to use to get your creative juices flowing. As you saw in the video, Prezi allows you to include YouTube videos, images(straight from Google images) and graphic organizers. The options are endless and the best part, is as an educator, you want to grab your student's attention. Boredom is next to impossible with a Prezi presentation.

I went ahead and made a presentation.
