Prezi: Something New in Powerpoints

Want to introduce something new to your students?? Try Prezi. Its a new and creative way to present information. To be honest, at first I wasn't buying it. I didn't want to have any parts of it. No reason other than it seemed too complicated for me. I avoided it like the plague and I put off many days completing my assignment for class. Basically, because I didn't want to learn something new. I was comfortable with powerpoint and that was enough for me. One day I gave it a chance. I created an account and I was welcomed with instructional videos that were brief and to the point. I then started to create my Prezi presentation. It's a new twist to the same ole boring powerpoint presentation. Trust me on this one.

Don't worry its simple, and easy to create presentations and the more you create the more you learn. I know that learning something new is the hardest part, but this was easy as 1, 2, and 3. I plan to use this in my classroom before the end of the school year with my 8th graders in some form or fashion. Get them exposed to the program and then start including ideas that connect with meeting educational standards. Take a look and give it a try. It doesn't bite.
