It’s Prezi.com, and it gives me a new way to think about presentations–and about brainstorming and planning.
Here are its salient features:
- It’s Web-based.
- You work on an infinite canvas.
- You click and place text, which can be colored, styled, rotated, etc.
- You can also click and place pictures, pdfs, and videos.
- You click and create a “path” to tell a story.
- The story can include zooms. So words and pictures can be tiny and huge, and smooth zooming traverses between them.
- If you can picture Prezi from these bullets, you are a powerful visualizer. This presentation tells the story much more clearly:

How to use Prezi to write your book? I’ve just discovered it, but I think it might work as a way to cluster. It is certainly a wonderful place to brainstorm and to create presentations. Love to hear your thoughts about it! (Since it’s Flash, it won’t be on your iPad anytime soon…sigh.)
