Be careful

when using the

zoom and move

functionality.

It may get your

students attention

intially, but over use it

In the last section, the movement and zooming has not helped me communicate and I have probably annoyed you

The way you navigate in Prezi must HELP you communicate

Lessons are rarely linear.

Using Prezi you can create a pathway but choose to leave it at any point to explore additional content.

You can return to your pathway, just like you do when you are teaching.

The Prezi interface encourages you to deviate and explore - just like learners do...

you can click on it to explore an idea in more detail

As you have seen, you can easily incorporate images and videos into your Prezi

Ideas about using

can be used like other presentation tools but...

what would be the point of that?

when there is so much more you can do with it

like zooming in

...but why is this useful?

as a teaching tool

noun; a single unit of language which has meaning and can be spoken or written

As teachers we often need to analyse long sections of text with our classes.

The ability to zoom in on images or text helps students focus on what is important.

You can also use the ability to zoom in to expand on the meaning of a particular word. This may be particularly useful in MFL where you can associate an image with a word like 'coccinelle'.

In other subjects like science, the meaning of words can sometimes be better explained using images. For example when defining osmosis, students often find it difficult to conceptualise the 'concentration of solutes' - a diagram can really help:

"Osmosis is the movement of water across a partially permeable membrane from an area of low concentration of solute to an area of high concentration of solute"

How do I incorporate videos into my Prezi?

You can either:

  • convert your video into a Flash video file (.flv or .swf), or

  • embed a video from YouTube by pasting the url of the video into an empty text box. This only works when you are online!

and all you will do is

make them sea sick!
