2.0 WEB TOOL

PREZI IS A PRESENTATION TOOL THAT HELPS YOU ORGANIZE AND SHARE YOUR IDEAS.
Prezi is a cloud-based presentation software and storytelling tool for exploring and sharing ideas on a virtual canvas. Prezi is distinguished by its zooming user interface (ZUI) which enables users to zoom in and out of their presentation media. It allows users to display and navigate through info within a 2.5 D space on the Z-axis. 
Teachers and school systems worldwide-from kindergarten to university-are increasingly employing Prezi to augment and enhance their teaching. In primary education, Prezi is often used as an interactive medium to bridge non-linear exploratory learning and more-linear instructional learning. In higher education, Prezi is sometimes used to present complex thoughts, narratives or other visual information. Prezi can also be used by teachers and students to collaborate on presentations with multiple users having access and the ability to edit the same presentation. Prezi allows students to construct and present their knowledge which appeals to different learning styles. Prezi is also being used in the realms of e-learning. 

Initially developed by co-founder Adam Somlai-Fischer to show large architectural drawings and details, Prezi has many divers applications for the visualisation and presentation of information including:
-Data visualization
-Complex systems, process diagrams, and network diagrams
-In the realm of cognitive sciences, as a mind-mapping tool
-Collaborative design
-Resumes and portfolios
-Ecards and other individual expressions of creativity.

The reason why we like Prezi so much is because it gives a better approach in presenting things. We pretty much all know how to operate powerpoint and have seen it's linear text/picture presentations. Prezi is helping reinvent the art of presentation. Here is a great example
