This week I decided to explore Prezi. I have seen many people use Prezi before, and have always thought their presentations looked very professional, but also difficult. The way Prezi works is that you can post content on a single wall, adjust the sizes of the content, and then create a path which is similar to a slideshow. Instead of playing the slides one by one, Prezi zooms in and out of the media on the wall, and it seems like a camera is moving from content to content.
For a website that creates presentations that are so fun to watch, it is very simple to use. I was intimidated by it before because I hadn't had much experience creating presentations other than PowerPoints. After having this class for 6 weeks though, I thought I could probably give it a try...and it was one of the most simple sites I have used!
I think Prezi would be perfect for doing either a picture or text "slideshow" but is not good for lots of text. It would be a great site to use for visual learners, because the movement and creative layout of the website will most definitely keep students attention better than a simple PowerPoint. It's a fun site to use, and easy enough for children to use and create presentations. It would also give a unique spin to presentations that would normally being boring and visually uninteresting to watch.

I think this is a great alternative to the powerpoint presentations that are seen everywhere. It tends to get boring from time to time. Something like Prezi seems like it would be very interesting and engaging. It would be something different that students have not seen which should gain their attention.
