Non-blah #6: Five Tips for Using Prezi

Here are some tips/ideas I thought of regarding the use of Prezi presentations in the classroom/in teaching:
1. Since it so visual, and since it is relatively new in the realm of classroom technology, it should be used whenever possible in the place of PowerPoint.
2. Since some students may have sensitivity to motion sickness, the use of movement in Prezi should be used for emphasis and focus, not excessive movement for movement's sake.
3. Many suggestions that apply to PowerPoint presentations could be used with Prezis as well.
4. The program is ideal for stretching students' imaginations, and students should be encouraged to use it for both indivdual and group presentations.
5. The search capability at http://prezi.com can be used to find already-made prezis to use in the classroom, to avoid "reinventing the wheel" where resources already exist.
