A New Spin on Prezi:
Portfolios
Introduction to Prezi

software that allows you to create dynamic
and interactive presentations in a much
less rigid format than PowerPoint does. It
has both free and paid versions, and it also
allows for sharing and collaboration
between multiple authors.

ppt, music,
voiceovers, etc.

Resources
This specific portfolio was used primarily
for showcasing work from a speaking and
listening class. It included:
student videos (hosted on
Youtube)
pdf copies of feedback
audio files (hosted on Youtube or
other websites)
assignment descriptions
student commentary
Possible Adaptations
Writing:
Using uploads of files such as pdfs and
hyperlinks to files hosted elsewhere,
students can easily use Prezi to showcase
their writing and even highlight the process
by displaying their concept maps,
brainstorming, outlines, thought process
and drafts.
