Prezi is a FREE online presentation creation site. It is so much more creative than keynote or powerpoint. I will utilize this site to create this week's commercial, so check it out. It allow creating of layers and showing connections in ways that are so much more fluid. There are multiple types of subscriptions available to users including a free public license, one step up, which they call "enjoy" for $59 a year and the "pro" subscription for $159 a year. What I found even more fun was they offer the "enjoy" subscription to teachers and students for free. All you need to do is register your school or district domain with them. This includes 500mb of storage for your prezis.
It is called the "zooming" presentation because that is how it creates the layers and connections. It is as if you are creating a presentation board of unlimited size and then zooming to the different points as you are discussing them. It is a lot more fun to watch than just screenflow, or a powerpoint, even with the different animations that you can do with powerpoint. I don't think I'll use another software for my presentations for a while.
It does take some time and practice to get to know how it works best, but it does offer a lot of flexibility. I especially like being able to see the big picture in addition to the little details.
