I was in Lezlee's class the other day helping the students were make Prezi presentations. It reminded me that the interface has changed quite a bit since the early days. If you haven't made a Prezi in the past year or so, you may be surprised at how much easier it's become. There are also more templates available to get you started quicker. One of my complaints about Prezi is that while it is often described as a "non-linear" presentation tool (in opposition to Powerpoint, Google Presentations, Keynote, etc.), it is really just a different way to create a path between what would be called "slides" in the other applications. The new interface makes that clearer-- you create a series of "frames" along a path that shows up on the left. The big difference is that in Prezi, the entirety of the presentation is on one canvas, so you can zoom in a particular detail, return to an earlier frame, etc. with ease. Definitely worth taking a look. You can add narration, video, and more. As always, I'd love to help you and your students with getting started!
Here's a Prezi about Prezi:
