1. Prezi isa free educational tool thatallows youtomake PowerPointsonline. Anyone canuse
Prezi. Youdo not have to be an educatoror student. Also,if youcan make a PowerPoint,thenyoucan
make a Prezi. You can importinformationfromaMicrosoftPowerPointaswell. Prezi isdifferentfrom
regularPowerPointbecause the presentationisinadifferentformat. Youcan pickdifferent
backgrounds andadd urls,images,andtext. Whenmakinga Prezi,itsortof lookslike makinga
PowerPoint. Youhave yourslidesina path,and youjustadd the contentto them. The reallyinteresting
thingaboutPrezi isthat the transitionsof slidesare notuniform. Eachtime youclickto get to a new
“slide”itislike youare moving. You can zoomin andout of differentslidesandinsertone slide into
anotherone. It isan excellenttool thatmakesitpossible foryoutocollaborate online. Youcaneditthe
Prezi at the same time that someone elseis. So,youanda fellow teachercanbothbe workingatthe
same time inyour differentclassroomsonthe same Prezi. Youcan change somethingandthenthe
teachercan add some more content,etc. Therefore,youcanworkin real time withanotherteacher.
The opportunitiestobe creative andinterestingonPrezi are endless. Ithinkthat itis easiertomake
