Description From prezi.com:

"Prezi is zooming sketches on a digital napkin.

It's visualization and storytelling without slides. Your ideas live on stage and on the web.

Have you ever wondered about presenting your thoughts as free as they come? Ever got tired of creating a slideshow? It's been said, that the best innovations come from people who are unhappy with the tools they use. We realized that our ideas won't fit into slides anymore. Putting together creative thinking and technology expertise, we have created Prezi, a living presentation tool."

Primary Sources Example

Prezi was used both as a presentation tool (in lieu of MS PowerPoint), and as an interactive image viewer.  When used as a presentation tool, Prezi creates a natural interface to present information, and interact with and analyze primacy sources.  Prezi is also useful as an image viewer due to its ability to place a set of resources in front of an audience and allow them to explore them in an organic way.
