Prezi
What is it? Prezi is an online program that allows users to create and share presentations without the use of the traditional side method, such as powerpoint. Presentations can be shared, embedded into various websites, or downloaded for off-line use. What separates Prezi from the similar online programs is it's use of transitions on a giant virtual white board space. The transitions allow users to zoom in and out, rotate, and 'fly to' other areas quickly. Not only are the transitions fun, but do not require a technical background in animations. The program is geared to work well with the average computer user.
