I am a die-hard PowerPoint user. It has been my go-to tool for YEARS. Thinking about not having Powerpoints ready to go for my Reading Street stories is enough to make me twitch. Now that I've learned Prezi - and love it - I find myself going to it more and more.
Prezi is great because it isn't just a linear, flip-flip slide show. You can set a path and zoom in and out - the results are really amazing! Here are a few Prezi shows I've created.
These all had specific purposes. Some I used with students and some with adults. My favorite Prezi is this last one. I used to do a PowerPoint show each morning. It guided the students and made sure they were ready to start the day. I think this shows the path setting and zoom features best - What do you think?
Now I'm thinking about how to compensate for all those Reading Street PowerPoints I no longer have. I'm debating between doing Prezis or Glogs or maybe a combination of both. Or maybe neither?
What other uses do you have for Prezi? How do you introduce stories from a basal textbook?
