I have gone and tried a Prezi, which I will try and upload later. I think these would be a great idea for upper primary to preasent their projects for something different instead of powerpoint. I had trouble getting the zoom in and zoom out effect on my Prezi, but that could have something to do with the fact that I bypassed the instructions. This is definetely one of my downfalls when learning new programs, as I am not one to sit down and read a manual before using something, I'd rather just wing it and pick it up as I go. This is another indicator of my kinaesthetic learning style. I found a great quote once and have sifted through all my files to find it, because I think it is very true with how people engage with technology.
"Creators of presentation software complain we can give people the ability and we can simplify the technology, but we can't make people use it. Microsoft calculates, users take advantage of only 10-20% of the softwares technical capability."
That I believe is so true, well, I know I definetely don't. I am aware of this now and will try to make more effort to learn before doing.
