Digital Tool 6: Prezi.com Avery impressive way to do presentations




Prezi is a brilliant presentation as it a concept map for presentations.
Recently I watch two presentations that embedded Prezi as part of the presentation and was very engaging to the viewers.
Students would learn more easily due to the eye catching visuals in the form of text.



Prezi may soon help students engage in learning through  Collaborative Presentation Editing using Google Wave.

Largely thanks to Google Wave allows Wave those with Google accounts) users to embed Prezis and collaborate live.
In Wave you can embed different applications to work with. These  gadgets will allow small groups to show Prezis to each other and even edit live.




Analysis

Strengths Weaknesses Opportunities Threats
Very engaging for students

Easy to use/user friendly 

Plenty of online support and tech video support. 

Able to Zooming into details of a Text/picture/image


Make Dynamic Venn Diagrams

Embed YouTube videos
Relies on Adobe flash which can be unstable and buggy

May get boring to students if used regularly as it will loose its originality and students will disengaged
Students will recall more information that just an ordinary presentation.
Share their work globally.
May be able to collaborate and edit online with different users.

Use Prezi as a mind map and help students with disabilities to learn more easily.
Help student with their vocabulary.

Have Students Create Graphic Organizers to Understand & Represent Thinking
If Presi becomes popular the cost may rise and restrict to only students with money
