Prezi for a learning purpose.

My first experience of Prezi.
Prezi has similar types of features as PowerPoint. It is linear in the form it is presented. Although, it has very different ways about presenting the information compared to PowerPoint. Prezi is a very visual and engaging in the way the information can be presented.
In the classroom, this tool would be great for documenting a learning journal. Pictures, videos  and captions can all be added in one place. This information can be sequenced in the order of progress. Although this can be provided in chunks of information too. It just means that each chunk would haveto explained in sequence before providing the next chunk, that way information provided will still have a sense of flow. My experimentation of Prezi had found that I had made it too busy for my first attempt. It will take a few practice attempts to successfully achieve a professional presentation. In the classroom, this can be very time consuming. However, keeping it simple at the start and slowly progress on new features when time permits would be the best way to manage time.
