When I checked out Prezi, it was love at first glance. But after a brief trial, I decided it wasn't for me. These are the problems I saw 1. You don't quite "own" your presentation files. You have to rely on either always logging into the Prezi website and/or paying the on-going license fee. I feel much more comfortable putting my work into a file format that I will always be able to open/edit/use via PowerPoint or Open Office. 2. Prezi doesn't convert easily to any hard coy formats. I like to be able to quickly convert my PPts into an outline/handout. You can't do that with Prezi. I also like the option to post my PPt online in pdf format-again, not available with Prezi. 3. If you post your presentations online, Prezi is not ADA compliant (i.e., does not work with a screen reader). This, to me, is an absolute deal breaker. 4. Prezi seems best geared to presentations for a single class period. I prefer to create a single presentation per chapter (3-4 class periods), which gets unwieldy on Prezi. 5. Learning curve aside, moving existing PPt content into Prezi is a major undertaking. Similarly, going back to make substantial changes to a presentation is much easier in PPt than Prezi. Thanks for reminding us of Prezi. After reviewing it, I realized that many of the things I like about it can be done in PPt with a little creativity. Next time I re-vamp my PPt slides, I need to remember to reconsider just how I use it and take the next step.

Afterwards, a video was shown of 6 people and you were asked to chose who had committed the crime. The point was that no one in the line up had, but many people picked someone. Can someone forward that link to me? Thanks!!
