Prezi
May 22, 2012
Prezi is a “zooming” presentation software and storytelling tool for exploring and sharing ideas on a virtual canvas. The ability to zoom in and on images or text helps students focus on what is important. The Prezi interface encourages users to deviate and explore – just like learners do. Users can easily incorporate images and videos into your Prezi.
