I just put on the finishing touches on my first Prezi this morning. I might have made one before in another college class but I know I didn't get this involved with it. I like Prezi and I think my hesitation of using it again would be purely because of a lack of confidence using it. The organization of the program was great and had some cool looking templates. I wanted to use one of them but didn't feel they were appropriate for my presentation. I look forward to using the timeline template in the future. I typically start out a new chapter/unit with a timeline to give students a frame of reference. One thing that I didn't like was that some of the YouTube files I had downloaded and would have embedded in a PowerPoint I was unable to do so because of the size of the file. I had a lot of video clips on my Prezi because I find that it is an effective way to reinforce the text. As a result my Prezi had 5 different YouTube clips, not sure if this is a good or bad thing. Either way I have found Prezi very useful and definitely will be used to mix things up from the typical PowerPoint. Here is the link if you want to check it out: Chapter 13/14 Prezi
