Prezi+Lesson+Directions

media type="custom" key="26965174" **Prezi** is a "cloud-based" presentation software and storytelling tool for exploring and sharing ideas upon a virtual canvas. Prezi is distinguished by its Zooming User Interface (ZUI), which enables users to zoom in and out of their presentation media. You can include text, images, videos into your presentation. That information can be grouped together in frames. Users then designate the relative size and position between all presentation objects and may pan and zoom in and between these objects. The final step is creating a path for movement between all of the information you have added to your presentation.
