My friend LJN has written a blog that includes the reference to Prezi; an interactive presentation maker free for students to use. LJN states in his blog http://ljn-wouldyoukindly.blogspot.com/ that Prezi allows students to imbed information in a fun and dynamic way, and I couldn't agree more! I have poked around in Prezi for some time now, and discovered that the flow of information is more organic and easy to follow. The downside is that I sometimes get dizzy with so much sideways work, but I think this new platform will encourage students to engage with the task. Even if the presentations are not extremely different from Powerpoint, I believe that students will have fun. I can see so many possible uses, especially concerning VisCom. The design principles and layouts are strong and can be applied in the classroom. It also has quick instructions on the website, so students can teach themselves in an enquiry based method where they either have a go, or check out the instructions and tips when they get stuck. All round great idea! Check out the website: http://prezi.com
