PREZI

This week's installment of the FHC Brad Anderson blog is all about the multimedia presentation tool PREZI. It is an exciting tool that can be used to visually link concepts.  In my introduction to the medium (I have seen it used a few times before but never worked with it) I first watched the handful of online tutorials and then sampled concept map Prezis in my content area, Social Studies.  Here is an example of one that I found helpful and tried to model for my own attempt at a prezi.




My constructed prezi is about the causes and consequences of WWI, otherwise known as The Great War.  I would use this as both a presentation tool in class as well as an embedded tool on my class website.  I have also become more adept at Twitter and Facebook as a means to distribute such multimedia and I could "share" this WWI presentation.  I am very glad that our instructor chose Prezi as a unit of study.  I can see the possibilities for use opening up for my class content.  As an instructor, I can use Prezi as multimedia lesson tool.  For students this can be a creative way to research, concept map or present their own findings on content.

Enjoy!
