What is Prezi?
Prezi is a type of presentation software that allows you to zoom in and out of your topics and also connect them together if need be. You can inbed text, video, or images into a Prezi just like a powerpoint presentation. Prezi offers a much more dynamic way of presenting information that a power point would. It allows you to zoom into the details or zoom out to see the bigger picture.You can complete a story line or you can present topics and show how they can be linked together. Also, multiple users can collaborate at one time in a Prezi!

How can you incorporate Prezi into the classroom? This tool can be very useful when teaching students a new subject and going in depth rather than outlining bullet points within a power point presentaion. In the classroom, students can be the user and then learn how to connect the different subjects together and also how to categorize them. I think this a great tool to use to assess the students understanding of certain subjects. It strays away from formal assessment, which is always a plus in my book! In my classroom, I would have the students use Prezi to create a marketing campaign. It is important the they are familiar with more ways to develop a presentation outside of Microsoft Powerpoint. Prezi can get the group much more engaged because it strays away from the old style of presentation with just power points. To get the students familiar with the format of Prezi I would have them begin by creating one about themselves. They could create this in timeline form or by having different aspects of themselves and connecting those together in some way. Prezi allows the presenter to be more creative and innovative in the way they present. It requires much more thought as to how they points in your presentation all tie together.

Prezi is a great tool to use as informal assessment. Do they students understand how the subject matter connects together? Having them make a Prezi will drive the subject matter home and hopefully they will!

I have included a video example of a Prezi Below:
