Prezi

My attempt to create a Prezi didn’t go well on the first few attempts.  I feel the techno-demons were trying to get the better of me with this.  I was able to start up an account, but couldn’t get through the loading a template step to begin.

However, having viewed the tutorial on the prezis in the course material, this seems like a very engaging activity at being able to add a wow factor to a presentation for students.  You could visually demonstrate very well the detail of a topic by being able to zoom in to text and/or images, all within a much larger concept.  It could also demonstrate that the bigger picture may sometimes not tell the whole story, or that the devil can sometimes be in the detail.

I could see this being a very useful activity, if I can get enough time to master the technology.  I love a challenge, so my prezi days are not over yet.
