Prezi

Prezi is a Web 2.0 program that allows you/students to build zoom-able, non-linear presentations that allow viewers to EXPLORE what is being presented; not just sit and watch slide by slide.  It allows you to create a “big picture” that explores connections and ultimately, have a final result of a “visually captivating presentation that leads your audience down a path of discovery.” – Prezi.com.  More and more classrooms here at NCMS have been using it and the students LOVE IT!
