I'm still taking tablets. In theory I could see that "zooming into the big picture" was an interesting presentation metaphor, but I was always too wrapped up in motion sickness to get the benefit.

It was quite popular 3-4 years ago, but now the novelty has worn off it’s really only useful in very specific circumstances. You still see it used occasionally.

Does anyone use prezi or know if we have a site license?

I few people (outside academia) have mentioned it to me and swear by it.

Basic concept seems to be to replace a linear sequence of slides with the "big picture" that you zoom in and out and around.

I'd be tempted to give it ago, though flicking through some examples, I could image the constant zooming and moving animation could easily give the whole audience a headache if over used.

thoughts?
