This site allows you create dynamic presentations that will engage the viewer and go beyond what Powerpoint has been able to accomplish. You can add text, images, and videos to create an interactive presentation that provides the information you are trying to convey while adding interest and action. I think once again it is only limited by one’s imagination in that the sky is the limit in how a user could take a very mundane subject like tieing shoes and create an interesting presentation. The tieing shoes was the tutorial on the prezi webpage.

This was a prezi I made for fun. []

=CoolIris = =[|www.cooliris.com] = A small download that will turn your browser into a multimedia showcase. You can search for and view images, videos, and documents in an interactive, browser window. It works seamlessly with the webs most popular locations like [|Bing Images], [|Google Image Search], [|Yahoo! Image Search], [|Ask.com Images], [|AOL Image Search], [|Flickr], [|Photobucket], [|Corbis], [|Picasa], [|Fotki], FotoTime, [|deviantART], [|SmugMug], [|Facebook], [|MySpace], [|Bebo], [|hi5], [|Friendster], [|YouTube] (for videos), [|Gallery], [|Craigslist], [|Amazon.com], and any web site that implements [|mediaRSS] tags in their HTML pages. The software places a small icon in the corner of an image thumbnail when the mouse moves over it, which launches into a full-screen photo viewer when clicked.

=MixBook = =[|www.mixbook.com/edu] =
 * An online e-book creation tool, that was once geared toward photo albums but has now been utilized by teachers and students to create dynamic, visual projects to demonstrate what has been learned. While the format is strictly visual, the page turning feature is an added extra to the experience. Images are easily edited and text added to create a full fledged book online. I could see how it could run the spectrum of using it to follow a specific assignment through the limits of the imagination in creating a purely independent story.**

=**Aviary**= =**[|www.aviary.com]**=
 * Is an online suite of free multimedia creation tools. The various tools have bird names like Raven, Phoenix, Myna, and Toucan. The options are phenomenal, such as editing images, vectors, colors, audio, using the music creator and screen capture. This site has hours and days and weeks of ways to be creative. Using this website would be a benefit to teachers and educators in that students would be having fun at the same time the learning experience was taking place.**
