This week Krista Joins Todd to talk with special guest Angelie Agarwal, Chief Evangelist for Prezi. Prezi is presentation software that really changes how both students and teachers look at ways to communicate their message to others. It is a true alternative to just another Powerpoint slide presentation. Best of all, the company is highly engaged in the education community and offers free and deeply discounted versions for teachers and students. The best way to understand Prezi is to listen to the podcast and then check out some of the presentations at prezi.com. We think you are going to like this very engaging communication tool.
