Prezi is wonderful for the classroom for a variety of reasons. First, students can create a free account for presentations, and everything is online. This means there are no concerns about flash drives or getting files from one place to another. Also, with free accounts, all Prezis are public, so you can search for them in the database. Teachers are able to get a free account with the ability to make Prezis private.
In addition, Prezis are a fantastic way to increase student engagement with a lesson. Both the movement of the screen and the ability to insert video clips and photos help students understand the lesson and stay focused. If you're not quite ready to make your own, try using one from the PreziU section, where other teachers post their Prezis on educational topics.
Tips:
* I suggest watching the tutorial lessons on the Prezi website before trying to create your own. They are short and really help understand the many ways you can use the program.
* Check out the "Explore" tab at the topic of the page to search for a topic from millions of Prezis created by others.
Here are a few of mine:
