On a roll - Prezi....

I've been teaching Prezi, the presentation software to my students in Grades 8 - 12. I have also been teaching it to my fellow colleagues. And this is what I've been handing out to them to help them get started. The presentation program is fun, excellent for concept mapping as well as just plain image mapping. Students have the ability to put an order to their thoughts at the end of the presentation instead of worrying about what should come next after each slide on the slide show. This lets you think of every possible idea, insert pictures and videos that will automatically play, just let you go crazy... With reflecting and thinking...

Thought I would send it out to people here at Classroom 2.0 tools... Help yourself.

I think this would work well for me; I've been trying to make some PowerPoint slides for Spanish lessons, and I can't get the kind of animation I want for demonstrating verb conjugations. So helpful!

I love it's lack of boundaries and multifunctions. Have you tried collaborating on prezi? It's a little awkward, but with time you get to learn to avoid the potholes!
