What is Prezi Prezi is a web-based presentation application and storytelling tool that uses a single canvas instead of traditional slides with zooming capabilities.
It is cloud based and accessible from everywhere
It is also very engaging because it had the “Wow” factor that PowerPoint is lacking!

Tutorial
You can insert sound and music to your Prezi easily. For example, if you want to have your students’ recording, first go to photobooth and record their voices.(you can cover the camera so we don’t have their faces as Prezi is public), then drag the movie to desktop. Open your prezi and go to insert>file>find the file on your desktop. Once inserted, make sure it’s part of your path. Now you can shrink it and cover it with student’s art work or some shapes. See the example below: http://prezi.com/it1-dnrxkiwk/kindergarten-news/
