My Take
The app version is very simplistic. There are more advanced features on the website version, but for a quick animated presentation in the classroom, the app is the way to go. A great alternative to the PowerPoint presentations.
How I Use It
I use this app as an alternative to PowerPoint. It gives the student experience on different technology and is very animated. Students did not like that they had to set up an account just to use the Prezi. I find that the Ipad version is a little easier to use than the website version. Most of my students agreed. I have my students use this when presenting case studies and group assignments.

Great tool for Students to present with.
I recommend it for teachers and students who are begining to integrate technology into lessons and demonstrations. This is not advanced level, but something that can springboard to new and more advanced tools.

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.
