RESOURCE DESCRIPTION
Give a brief description of the technology/resource.
Unlike slides, which literally box you in, Prezi gives you a limitless zoomable canvas and the ability to
show relationships between the big picture and fine details. The added depth and context makes your
message more likely to resonate, motivate, and get remembered, whether its your bread-and-butter
sales pitch, a classroom lecture, or a TED Talk to the worlds foremost thinkers.

INTEGRATION IDEA - COLLABORATION

How might you integrate this resource in a lesson plan to promote collaboration among students in your
classroom, or among students and others outside of the classroom?
I would use Prezi as a collaborative presentation for the students to use with group assignments. In the
lesson Im planning for Chaucers The Canterbury Tales, the students would be assigned a section of
the reading and have to present it to their classmates using Prezi.

enhance the lesson more so than other presentation software.
