18. What is it? http://prezi.com/

19. What is it? A non-linear way to present ideas. Creates a “zooming” presentation. http://prezi.com/

21. Why use it?

22. Visual representations help students recognize how related topics connect (NCTM, 2000)

23. Why use it? Learners acquire and store knowledge in two primary ways: linguistic (reading or hearing), and non-linguistic (visual imagery, kinesthetic). The more students use both systems of representing knowledge, the better they are able to thinking about and recall what they have learned (Marzano, Pickering & Pollock, 2001)

24. What can we do with it in the classroom?

25. Student can build up a Prezi through the course of a topic. Jot down key ideas, vocabulary and events. http://prezi.com/heta0c8btjcb/8d-group-f/
