Non-linear Presentations

Kudos to the Martin Institute for Teaching Excellence.  I attended a wonderful fall conference there yesterday and lurked virtually at their Teach Meet today.  The Institute boasted keynotes by Wesley Fryer and Tom Barrett and hosted 36 terrific presenters. Mid-South teachers, get ready to have your socks knocked off!

Prezi was among the many Web 2.0 tools discussed yesterday.  The presenter who mentioned the tool said that it was NOT for the linear thinker.  I beg to differ, but then I tend to think with the other side of my brain :)  I've seen the presentation tool used by students and teachers but until today, I had never tried it.  Presentations can be downloaded, viewed on the Prezie site, and  embeded into your wiki or blog.  The designer can give viewers complete control to click where they like OR you can create a linear path (with flips and spins!) for the learner to follow.  Options for auto play or click to advance are also included.

I highly recommend watching the short tutorial videos before you begin designing your own Prezi.  While uploading photos and typing text is a breeze, there is a slight learning curve as you plan the presentation path.  I had to rework mine a few times until I was happy with the final product.  The results were worth a little extra time ...and now I know!

Here is my first attempt.
