I must admit, exploring Prezi was actually quite fun, after I got the hang of it that is...
It took me a while to figure out what each function did, but after failing a few times and becoming frustrated (as we do!!) I eventually understood just how effective this digital tool is.
From a classroom perspective, this learning device could be so beneficial for both the teacher and the students. Just like PowerPoint, it enables the audience (i.e the learners) to become stimulated and engaged through the use of the interactive functions both tools have.
It would be a great tool to use in the classroom as it would allow the learners to build on their prior knowledge of a certain topic, concept and/or idea. A prezi presentation will also assist in how the learners, particularly the visual learners in the class, view the relationship between two elements through just simply editing the direction, zooming in and out etc.
Like all digital tools in the classroom, many students will become quite distracted with the 'awesomeness' of such an exciting program... I know I did!
