I quite like how Prezi can create a different perspective on a presentation, either as part of a person’s talk or as a standalone tool. But unless it’s done well it can be quite disorientating. Here are a couple of different presentations (just given for example, rather than as ‘good’ examples) I’ve seen recently that have me thinking about whether I might use it for teaching theology to people who are more ‘visually’ oriented that word-oriented.
- Theories of Culture – A presentation of Kathryn Tanner’s book Theories of Culture: A New Agenda for Theology made at Luther Seminary
- Freire Assignment – by a member of my old academic practice cohort
