It is a visual learning tool which allows you to create maps of texts, images, videos, graphics, etc. You can then present them in a nonlinear way. ]]> 2018-09-23 20:23:45 UTC https://padlet.com/crystaldenson_35/cblahne47o0u/wish/284797034 How to Use it crystaldenson_35 https://padlet.com/crystaldenson_35/cblahne47o0u/wish/284797271 The menu for adding elements has a very unique navigational approach and is easy to master.
Here is a step-by-step guide to your first Prezi for education:
Step 1: Sign up at Prezi.com for free and click on “Create New Prezi”. 
Step 2: Think of a metaphor for your message and find a suitable image on the Net. This image will become your background canvas (you can also use one of the templates available for free from the site).
Step 3: Once you have chosen a template, you will gain access to the presentation generating interface. You can click anywhere on the canvas and start typing, but it is easier if you create text fields first. They will allow you to zoom in and out with more ease.
Step 4: Personalize your text by choosing the font, size and color. You can then move, scale and rotate your text in order to reinforce your message. Add pictures, diagrams, videos, music and sound effects.
Step 5: Edit the zooming path with the left-hand side menu, which also allows you to rehearse your presentation before saving it and exporting it.

Prezi creates stunning visual impact. Import pictures, maps and PDFs and use them as a canvas. With the cinematic experience of the zooming function, your students will feel like they are transported into a “world” that you have designed yourself.
 
 2. Prezi is interactive whiteboard friendly. Designed in 2009 with the iPad in mind, it allows you to create exciting and interactive presentations with touch navigation.
 
 3. Prezi offers more freedom of navigation. Your Prezi can be kept in the public domain and therefore accessed by your students on the Internet. At home, they can navigate the Prezi themselves, observe connections of ideas and visualize concepts.
 
 4. Prezi is a great tool for interactive classroom sessions or group projects. Students can cooperate in real time with up to ten others, in the classroom or at home, to brainstorm and build a presentation on one shared virtual whiteboard.
 
 5. If you already have all your notes in PowerPoint, you don’t need to start all over again. Use the PowerPoint Import feature to transfer your existing content directly into your Prezi.]]> 2018-09-23 20:33:00 UTC https://padlet.com/crystaldenson_35/cblahne47o0u/wish/284798114 See an Example crystaldenson_35 https://padlet.com/crystaldenson_35/cblahne47o0u/wish/284799078 To see an example of a Prezi that I have created go to the link provided: https://prezi.com/pcq3fjozdgj-/selective-training-and-service-act/#]]> 2018-09-23 20:41:57 UTC https://padlet.com/crystaldenson_35/cblahne47o0u/wish/284799078 Prezi in the Classroom crystaldenson_35 https://padlet.com/crystaldenson_35/cblahne47o0u/wish/284799451 In many classrooms these days it is fair to say that PowerPoint has become the default setting for information to be presented. The overuse of PowerPoint tends to lead to disengagement, to that “not another PowerPoint” feeling your learners (and yourself!) may experience at times. Prezi on the other hand has the WOW factor. ]]> 2018-09-23 20:45:24 UTC https://padlet.com/crystaldenson_35/cblahne47o0u/wish/284799451 crystaldenson_35 https://padlet.com/crystaldenson_35/cblahne47o0u/wish/284799773 2018-09-23 20:48:31 UTC https://padlet.com/crystaldenson_35/cblahne47o0u/wish/284799773
