Prezi

I skipped this chapter of the 21 Things as I have already spent a lot of time using this application.

It is an exciting and dynamic way of presenting information to an audience, be it a class of students or to  parents of prospective students at an Open Evening. There are positively hundreds of uses that it can be put to and because of its 3 dimensional movements it attracts attention even in busy places.

Like it's predecessor Power Point it presents information in 'Slides' or 'Frames' that then move around a screen. Stories can be told in a logical format and as well as text, images and movies can be embedded into it.

An added feature of Prezi is the ability to 'Explore' presentations that have been created by other people. You can make a copy of these and reuse them, adapting them to suit your own needs. Many have been created by students around the world, so sometimes they have a different slant on a subject to our own, but one thing they all have in common are grammar and spelling mistakes!

All in all an enjoyable and useful site
