David That's a good synopsis! I'm also working on some presentations for neuroanatomy, psychopharmaology, etc. I tried it in other classes and didn't like it. BTW- our library staff absolutely loves Prezi! I'm thinking that relates to the same non-linearity of the task (they are often presenting to 1st year classes on how to do library searches). So for those teaching Research Methods it is a good tool for design and searches. Tim Shearon

I is definitely NOT a replacement for PowerPoint. If you just want to save money, use OpenOffice.org for free. Prezi works best with concepts that are naturally hierarchical and spatial. I am working on a Prezi for Neuroanatomy. It could work well with geography or history (using time-line as organizing structure). So, it is not a replacement for PowerPoint. It is has a different purpose. PowerPoint is linear. Prezi is based on cognitive maps. =David Wheeler, Ph.D. Robert Morris University @DavidWheelerPhD --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
