Description: Prezi is a free presentation software that allows users to make nonlinear slideshows. Including pictures and videos is easily done with the click of a few buttons. The site allows teachers to offer multiple methods of entry into a topic and meet different types of learners at their level. Prezi is easy to use, but can be somewhat time consuming if you want to create elaborate paths for your slideshow. This site offers students an alternative to PowerPoint that is easy to learn and use. Since the presentations are stored online, they can be accessed at anytime from any computer with Internet access. I created a Prezi for a 5th grade social studies lesson on Westward Expansion. Prezi allowed me to include relevant YouTube videos, pictures, text, and hyperlinks. Students can then watch the presentation again at home if needed, and it can easily be used as a study aid. Not only do students enjoy presentations using Prezi, they also love making their own slideshows.
