My Take
I think it's a great alternative to the powerpoints of yesterday. As an alternative to book reports, my students used Prezi to present key ideas, main characters, sequence of events, and many more different methods to not only present to the lcass but furthur their knowledge.
How I Use It
I enjoyed creating prezi's for my colleagues to view when presenting summer project information. I've also had students present using the format. It is enjoyable to use and view. Students create timelines, character maps, and story diagrams.

Prezi a Presentation with Pizzazz
Prezi benefits are twofold, students and teachers do respond to the "pizzazz" Prezi can offer when sharing information and Prezi is a digital tool that can be used to fulfill the Common Core State Standard ELA-Literacy.CCRA.SL.5. I happy to report that I had no technical difficulties; I have had experience with the school network not playing nice with digital tools. I included a video I made & a video from Youtube without any glitches. I was able to transfer a PowerPoint into a Prezi but it did take some tweaking. Prezi give students the opportunity to create information in an exciting dynamic and polished presentation. It is my philosophy that school librarians need to be teaching how to incorporate Web 2.0 technologies into the classroom. Prezi is terrific example of a Web 2.0 technology that support the Common Core Content Standards.

My students love Prezi and we were excited to download the app but please be mindful that the app is not as robust as the website.
Giving the students another way to present information is great. They really come alive when they show their prezi to the class. Again the app can be very tricky to make sure each child is able to access the website at home or in a lab to add any finishing touches to their work.
