Productivity Applications: Prezi and Google Docs

I'm so bummed that I missed last class! Thanks to a great friend though, I had some awesome notes to try to create my own Prezi. When it comes to technology I don't normally like to try new things, especially without plenty of help, but creating my first Prezi was easy and so much fun! I even took the idea to work with me and pitched it to my office. We're in the middle of creating training modules for the other branches and so far we've been creating them in PowerPoint. When I showed my manager's the Prezi website and discussed the possibilities of how we could incorporate our training into Prezi presentations they jumped on the idea. They all felt the same way I did; that Prezi's were far more interactive and entertaining to view. For lack of a better word, Prezi's are "way cooler" than PowerPoint! Aside from how they could be incorporated at work, the possibilities of how they can be used in the classroom are endless. I think that the way they transition from slide to slide and the neat graphics would capture a classroom's attention far quicker than a PowerPoint or any other form of presentation. In short, I’m sold on Prezi and don’t think I’ll be creating presentations is any other program ever again!
