Reflection on use of prezis

Prezis! It is another new visual presentation tool I have learned how to use and learned how to incorporate into my teaching. It is fun and easy to navigate around the site to create a prezi. Prezis make a new, flexible path, using a creative style and a non-linear path to communicate your information and ideas.
I have used a SWOT analysis to show all perspectives on the use prezis in education.
STRENGTHS
WEAKNESSES

OPPORTUNITIES
THREATS

The use of prezis in student learning may be used for many different aspects in learning. These might include telling a story, to teach a subject, describe a subject, describe a concept, describe something or to list things. The effects used for prezis may keep students motivated for longer, with the zooming in and out and resizing of words, images and icons, framing, linking to other websites and videos and forming a path between the information.

You can see my prezi on my wiki at http://karenwilkin.wikispaces.com
