I found the Prezi tool was a very different way of providing information technologically. The concept seems simple and allows for self paced interaction which caters for students as individuals. It also promotes learning through a playful interaction between written and other visual mediums. I found it also provides ideas to be accessible to students who may need further understanding without weighing them down with a lot of pointless reading. My one concern was the lack of vocal applications in the Prezi's, is it possible? I know as a learner if both my visual and audio senses are engaged I tend to retain more information. I have attached a link to a Prezi that was created by Maria Andersen in regards to learning through play that I found interesting, if a little to long, which can be another negative to this tool.

Yep! Absolutely possible. You can upload audio and video to Prezi and add that extra multimedia element! I find it is HUGE for concept mapping (of a different sort) too - you can organise your materials to get a holistic picture, and then zoom in to get the detail... A wonderful tool!
