I throughly enjoyed Prezi. I do like it better than Powerpoint. It seems more user friendly. I know my students will enjoy watching these. BC
Took a while, but I figured it out and it actually looked pretty good! I can see using this in all of my classes, but finding the time to create them will be a challenge.
Even I, after a several attempts could complete a Prezi. It is much more interesting than Power Point so I think that the kids would be very interested and motivated to listen.
I like Prezi, although it was a little bit frustrating setting my path. I had trouble linking the words and the pictures. Now I now not to set the words to small. I guess it will take practice. Good thing its fun.
I think using Prezi is a lot of fun. It was easier to learn than I expected. I like it better than Powerpoint because I don't have to create it in a linear fashion. It is great being able to manipulate the material and create pathways.JC
I never learned how to do a Powerpoint....good thing since this is so easy. I can use it to teach a concept and the kids can use it to present research. Claire
I thought working with Prezi was so much fun and so much more engaging than a boring Power Point. I could use it with my class doing a smart board science presentation. DRW
Prezi is great. I always jump at chances to combine learning with having fun. For me, Prezi would allow some of my more boring presentations to become a bit more entertaining. For the kids, Prezi would be a fun way for them to do presentations, reports, certain class assignments. It might even encourage them to do more than they normally would because of the fun, interactive nature of the tool. LL
While I have never done a PowerPoint presentation, I am familiar with the format. The Prezi has a more interesting and enjoyable visual effect. Given a choice, I believe I would opt for the Prezi over the PowerPoint. As far as use in my subject area, the Prezi could be used to present just about any topic. In fact, our group project will demonstrate this.

I love it and can't wait to learn more and use it. Just need more time

Always fun to learn something new and impressive. I do still like Power Point; but look forward to sharing this with my students. css

Prezi was nice when I stuck with words - but when I tried to type in equations, math symbols, and graphs - I ran into a lot of problems.
