#1 - Zooming into details of a picture Add an arrow pointing to a key detail in an image. Clicking on the arrow during "Show" will zoom in until the arrow fills the screen - a quick and easy way to focus on key details in a diagram (e.g. a political cartoon, a diagram of the human body, a map, a work of art). Press the space bar to zoom back out.

#2 - Dynamic Venn Diagram Create overlapping circles using the "Frame" command. Use these to create a venn diagram containing images and text investigating a key question (e.g. "Was Life Good or Bad in the Middle Ages?") Images can be dragged (in editing mode) into the correct spot by students during discussion. @russeltarr

#3 - Embed YouTube Videos PowerPoint does not make it easy to embed video. But Prezi does! Download a YouTube Video as an.flv (Flash Video) to your computer using www.keepvid.com.www.keepvid.com Upload it using the "Media > File" command Text, images and labels can be added around the video. @russeltarr

#4 - Get Students to make a Prezi Prezi is a great way to get students to revise or break down a topic. Provide them with this Prezi Quickstart Guide as a handout.Prezi Quickstart Guide What key question will they investigate? What images will they use? How will they lay the material out on the canvas? What path will they draw through their animation? Students are imaginative: they will produce timelines, venn diagrams, living graphs and much else besides!

#5 - Build up a Prezi over the duration of a topic Start with a topic heading. Surround the frame with topic strands. Within each topic strand add smaller frames with facts, links, pictures and media as you tackle each strand.

Although other tools exist, Prezi is free and simple to use. Simple is good. And unlike most mind maps (except the superb VUE from Tufts,) it doesn't impose any structure. VUE #6 - Use Prezi as a mind map used at Island Pacific SchoolIsland Pacific School
