Prezi
A zooming digital presentation editor, or in other words it’s a beefed up Powerpoint. With a small learning curve you & your students can create amazing online presentations. Use texts, images, videos, PDFs, & drawings to present in a nonlinear way with no slides. Prezi gives you a digital canvas to rotate & size your text. This is done with the Zebra wheel. By twisting, turning, & making your font big or small, this will give your presentation movement. By using these actions, it can help your students see the view of the whole picture of the topic. The movements can be utilized to create focus & retain student attention.

Classroom ideas,
 * Students can create more interactive slide-shows
 * Students can create time lines with embedded images
 * Use to create a visual for a piece of poetry
 * After a lesson, have students work in groups to "reteach" the lesson
 * Teachers can create a Prezi with missing or incorrect information, then the students must edit the corrections & present the corrections to the class

Examples
 * **Great Jazz Bassists & their Influence through the Ages **
 * **Mixing Mind & Metaphor **
