You could use this tool in your field site classroom by presenting an informative presentation that the kids will enjoy looking at because every move is interesting which will hold the students' attention. This is good for High School classes because you can put all the boring information into a simple presentation and maybe get bonus points for using such a cool presentation tool. :)

The coolest thing I found about it was everything. From the zooming presentation to the simplicity of it.

Random: You are able to look at other prezis. Enjoy. I got some ideas from looking at others. :)
