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.

Community Review for Prezi Viewer
My Take
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.
How I Use It
My student created book reports and presentations using this app. Often it took them going to the website to complete the project that they started. The app would freeze, glitch, close when saving and randomly sign the students out. The recent update helped a little but not much. Always make sure you have a plan B when using the app. I had to request the Laptop cart to finish projects.

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.

Excellent presentation tool!
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.
