What's Prezi? What are students learning using Prezi with Poetry?
Students were instructed to select a poem and present it using Prezi.
At the end of the week, they were given two classes in the computer lab to play and tinker with the technology; on Monday, the presented their work. We discussed the presentations and the use of imagery, mood, tone, the selection of key words and phrasing as well as the flow of the presentation and the effectiveness of the technology.

In modeling, the technology, I tinkered with Prezi and a favorite Frost poem. I never imagined juxtaposing the words with the sectarian violence in Northern Ireland, yet the ease of selecting images and videos led to a creative presentation that would never have happened using PowerPoint or other traditional mediums. I invested about three hours on this presentation - my first - and now feel confident using Prezi with anything I want to share.
