Crazy About Prezi

It is official - I am addicted to Prezi! I heard it described as a PowerPoint on steroids and that person could not be more right. Wow! I have only created 5 so far, but I am hooked!

With Prezi, you do not need to add slides. Everything is done on a single, limitless "canvas." You can import an existing PowerPoints, add images, You Tube videos and text. You can animate things to zoom, rotate and even flip upside down. One of the coolest things I have done is embed a photograph or words so deeply in a picture or in between letters that it is naked to the eye. But when it is zoomed, one can clearly see what is there. Check out this one I made today on Cesar Chavez: http://prezi.com/y6syrsjqliby/copy-of-cesar-chavez/

If you have not tried it out, I urge you to go to prezi.com and check it out! You will soon get hooked as well. There should be a warning label on Prezi that says "Warning - Makes You Lose Track of Time!" Making presentations for class was never so much fun and your students will respond enthusiastically!
