TodaysMeet.com is an opportunity for students to carry on an online conversation in one place, about the topic being presented - or really, about anything at all. It's nifty because it's a real-time tool, that you can watch the conversations scroll down the screen. I took a look at a conversation that had occurred during a presentation on Prezi. An educator named John D McCarty used Prezi as a tool to graphically show his resume. I could definitely see myself putting my resume into a graphic form. It certainly would attract your employer's attention, rather than reading another plain, boring, black and white resume - to see cartoons and pictures along with the text. I think that John did an excellent job in showing what the district hiring him would be getting.
I think Prezi is a neat tool for students, because it's much more than just cutting and pasting into a Powerpoint. And, it's free! I think it would be fun to use in a Biology classroom, as you can link to pictures and text, and the Prezi is free flowing and visually attractive. I like how you can click on text to see a larger version of the text, and pan in and out to look at the overall picture, or the details. Gives you a lot of control over your work.
Here is an example of a great Prezi about "5 Steps to Success in Biology." Here is another great one on the Themes of Biology, which was created by high school students.
