A Prezi is a great tool for the classroom. They allow for students and teachers to create online 'posters', or more like learning areas, that can split off in different directions. The idea of a Prezi kind of reminded me of my desk at home where I have a stack of papers for X over here and another lot for Y over there and a few post it notes scattered around everywhere. You can wander around a Prezi looking for things and zoom in to see more detail just like picking up a stack of paper on your desk and looking through it. Below is a PMI for a Prezi.
| PLUS | MINUS | INTERESTING |
| · Engaging · Free online resource · Great for visual learners · self guided discovery of information · Encourages creativity | · Some may feel 'screen sick' from the rotating and zooming · can take time to load · if computer is not up to date it will need software updates. · slow to save due to file size | · important info can be enlarged instead of just bold or underlined · non linear presentation, self guided/free roam · all info on one 'piece of paper' |
This is an example of a Prezi
