Are you sick of powerpoints? Are you looking for a new way of presenting class material? If you are, Prezis might be the answer for you. Prezi is a flash based application that lets you break away from the slide by slide approach of powerpoint.Instead, it allows you to create non linear presentations where you can zoom in and out of a visual map that contains words,links,images,PDF's and videos.It allows you to show the connection between concepts as you are able to focus on a piece of information,then zoom out to see the bigger picture.
It does take a while to get used to but once you get the hang of using the "bubble" menu you are on your way.
The Prezi website provides a number of short videos that explain how to use the application. This link also has some great tips and hints for using Prezis in the classroom
Below are some examples created by the ISC staff for the Humanities Department and presented during the Staff Conference on August 12th.
