Prezi - A Free, Online Presentation Tool!

Readers,


Earlier this semester, I was asked to serve on a search committee for one of the new english professors. During her presentation, the candidate opened my world to Prezi! This is an awesome online website for presentations! This website saves all of your presentations and introduces them to your audience members using an innovative format.


As a communication studies professor, I cannot wait use this website in my personal presentations and to introduce my students to the website!


Such a wonderful, free online teaching tool!


Sincerely,
