Everyone hates Powerpoint. Slides can be boring and oversimplify complex issues to linear steps. Prezi is different. Prezi is an online presentation tool that represents information spatially. This allows the presenter to zoom in close on an idea that is part of larger concept or zoom out to show relations among different concepts. Transitions are animated and create a visual "swoop" that keeps the information moving and connected. Joe and Ian have used Prezi in several settings including staff training, as guides embedded on webpages and in library instruction. This presentation will show you different examples of Prezi presentations and a quick overview of how to begin building engaging presentations. Click here to check out Joe and Ian's Prezi on Prezi

Excellent tools.
hi, maybe you would like our software "SciPlore MindMapping" http://www.sciplore.org/software/sciplore_mindmapping/ which combines PDF management (including bookmark import) and mind mapping with your existing reference management software (e.g. JabRef/BibTeX, Mendeley and to some extent Zotero). on our website is also a video which gives a short demonstration.
That is a great tool.Thanks for sharing such cool tools. I find it very interesting especially when having some presentations. I hope I can use this on my office space in Dulles, VA. I'll be in live video blogging at meeting space (Washington, DC-based) over the weekend. I'll be discussing SEO and it's benefit. I can't wait to try this new application.
