What I was trying to say was techers in K-8 are very interested in
Prezi.  I hate it.  Its special effects with little affect as far as I'm
concerned.  It yanks the person watching here and there leaving them
confused about where they have been.  People need structure when trying
to learn stuff the first time.  Most Prezi presentations don't provide
that structure.

I hate PowerPoint too, so do some other people---most notably
Edward Tufte.  See
