Prezi and Animoto

Here is some examples of student work from Prezi (http://prezi.com/ )and Animoto ( http://animoto.com/ ) to use within the classroom.

Prezi is a great tool to use within the classroom. Prezi is a web-based presentation application and storytelling tool that uses a single canvas instead of traditional slides. Text, images, videos and other presentation objects are placed on the infinite canvas and grouped together in frames. The canvas allows users to create non-linear presentations, where users can zoom in and out of a visual map. A path through different objects and frames can be defined, representing the order of the information to be presented. The presentation can be developed in a browser window, then downloaded so that an Internet connection is not needed when showing the presentation!

Here is a student example for the country of Jordan in the Middle East by Jordan Jamieson:

Animoto is a great tool for a presentation mode to use within the classroom. It can turn your photos & videos into a pure amazing product. Animoto automatically produces beautifully orchestrated, completely unique video pieces from your photos, video clips and music. Fast, free and shockingly easy.
