Spice up Your Presentation with Prezi
Want a way to get out of the box? Powerpoint, while a very effective tool for sharing information artificially forces us into linear, hierarchical way of thinking that may not be appropriate for all presentations. Prezi is a free, online, flash-based software tool that you can use to make your presentation more interesting, both visually and substantively. Workshop attendees will get the chance to create a presentation in Prezi from scratch, and also learn how to import their Powerpoint slides into Prezi.
