Prezi as a instumental music teaching tool

WOW


I love this software. The way it moves and how easy it is to flow and create made me have so much fun going through it.

Ok lets go over some features.

One great thing that it has going for it is that it takes the PowerPoint presentation and makes it more of an organic and lively experience. The way the information flows creates a feeling that it's alive and possibly more interactive than just slides going across a screen. I kind of forget how far we have come with how complex software creation has come that it more than ever intuitively lets us do what we want to to do rather than not that long ago where you almost needed to understand the coding underneath the software in order to use it effectively.

The going from the last point, it makes the creative potential quite high because of how easy it is to use. you don't have the limitation that size, scale angle or point of view have brought in the past because it lets you play in any 2D plane (waiting for a 3D prezi now). I remember that I personally had trouble in taking notes because if I wasn't given the format that the information needed to be written down on the page by the teacher I wrote so many different side notes and annotation that the it was so hard to follow the thought. Prezi allows you to make so many connections and annotations in a way that can be connected to the main train of thought and without clutering it that those ideas arn't lost. And just being able edit is always something that I dreamed of. (erasers just don't work as well)

One Draw back that I had is the limitation of programs that can be integrated. Being a music teacher adding sound tracks that can be initiated when activating certain frames would be amazing. (note to the creators)

It would even work as a class exercise. The ability to be edited by many people means that any questions can be immediately added to the piece of information that a student doesn't understand or they can ask for more information.
