Presentation tool: Prezi

Though I am still pretty old-school and will always favor PowerPoint, I have to admit that Prezi has many advantages and I can see why it would be appealing to teachers. I would probably use Prezi a lot in my own class, simply because I will be teaching high school, and I think that age group would be a lot more engaged if I were giving a lesson on Prezi as opposed to the standard PowerPoint. Prezi makes it a bit more fun, and I think that's the main thing kids look for, and teachers should be trying to look for as well in order to keep their students interactive and engaged. I could easily post this up for my students to look at on their own time, and the videos/pictures/map of Prezi seems a lot easier/more interesting to look at on your own than a boring Powerpoint, where the setup is very standard and doesn't allow a whole lot of creative license.
