Prezi

= Prezi = **Submission By Korey Hearn** After looking through Prezi's website, I think that Prezi is a great communication tool and is definitely appropriate for education. It is very similar to Microsoft PowerPoint, but it is FREE! You can throw your ideas onto an open canvas, and then you can move the items around the canvas in whatever order you find the items important.You can also group concepts together, and then zoom out to show the big picture. It is a tool that keeps students actively engaged with visuals. They also have Prezi Meeting, where group members can get together and work on one project, similar to Wikispaces. They also have an app for prezi on tablets, which makes it even easier to use.Prezi is user friendly and easy to learn how to use.

Since Prezi is easy to use and I think that the age appropriateness of this web tool would be from 3rd grade up through college. Getting used to how it work takes the most time, but when that part is done, it is relativey easy to create a page.

Students can use Prezi for projects and presentations in any subject. Teachers can also use Prezi to engage students during their lecture. They can also create examples of projects on Prezi to show students what is expected for their project, presentation, etc.

Attached is a couple of examples of how Prezi is used in th classroom by teachers and students:

Stop SOPA Act by Richard Villa- This Prezi is a great example for students to see in class and start a discussion over SOPA. []

What is Science? by Myles Science - This Prezi could be used to show a science class what science is [] Salem Witch Trials by" Jonathan Wemple- This Prezi was created by a student to explain what they learnd over the Salem Witch Trials. This could be a project for students to work in groups and describe a unit over anything being learned. []
