Prezi is a web 2.0 tool that allows users to create online presentations in a fun, engaging manner without the use of multiple slides. Users use a “zoomable canvas” where you put your information and ideas. Users can use Prezi for individual presentations, stories or use it to collaborate and share with others.
Prezi also offers “Prezi for Education” which offers students and teachers free upgrades.
Educators can easily use this tool in education to create multiple means of representation. Lectures can be dull and boring for students but Prezi can allow teachers to present content in an engaging manner. It can include images, videos, songs, shapes and so forth. With Prezi, lectures become interactive and exciting.
Educators can also use Prezi for multiple means of expression. Prezi can be used as a way for teachers to assess students on their knowledge and understanding. Teachers can assign a final presentation at the end of a unit where the students use Prezi. Students can use this tool to express creativity in a way that best fits their learning style.
