I created my first Prezi today highlighting the key characteristics of the 8 regions of the United States of America as outlined by the Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL).  My first creation is nothing real snazzy, and involves quite a bit of regurgitation… I was just trying to get a feel for the program.  Turns out, Prezi is pretty straight forward.  It was not time consuming  and did not require much in the way of trial and error. Prezi is presentation software similar to Powerpoint.   However, unlike powerpoint every element that you add to Prezi is done so using a single canvas.   By working on one canvas, viewers can easily zoom in and zoom out in order to show contextual relationships. You can also have multiple editors working on the same project at the same time. This can be a great asset when you are tyring to think of project based learning lessons that involve communication and collaboration.  You can check out my 8 regions Prezi below by clicking on the arrow in the middle.  Continue to click on that arrow to advance the presentation to the next slide.
