Prezi’s is a great tool to use in the classroom. I used Prezi with a reluctant learner in my classroom. As we worked through the presentation program together he came alive. He was very motivated to input the knowledge he learned into this format. He loved the way he could zoom from one topic to the next. It is very interactive and can work well on a Smartboard. According to Wikipedia, the company has worked closely with the ConnectED initiative since its inauguration by President Barack Obama in 2013, providing free Prezi licenses to hundreds of thousands of Title 1 high school teachers across the nation. Prezi is developed in Adobe Flash, Adobe AIR and built on top of Django. It is compatible with most modern computers and web browsers.
I would highly recommend this program, especially for older grades. The format and presentation style meets the needs of today's fast-pace society. You can use Prezi for almost any subject!
