Great job with the Prezi, AND with the information! From reading the other comments I hear you're going to add sound. That will be a great addition! Seeing this makes me excited to see the ways we can make prezis even more engaging than the kids already find them!
OMgosh! I LOVE it! So, I can't wait to use Tagul (I think that is spelled right?). I've read about it from Byrne on Free Tech for Teachers, but have never used it. The power of having it link to another site is fabulous. Thanks so much!
PS the YouTube is being bookmarked in my library
VERY cute. I LOVED how you did the wordle and the music was a great addition. Lots of information. I also loved the beginning how you introduced yourselves. Engaging...
So impressive! Just from watching your video it's clear you're comfortable with some of the different ways to make a site exciting. Your personal pictures were also a great inclusion to help build the relationships with the teachers at your school. Do you have plans to update and keep this site going throughout the year?
Wow, this was fabulous! Not only are the tech components great, the information is clear, well organized, and super informative. Do you have plans to use this as your first introduction to the school? It is great!
I love the Xtranormal! Way to stick with it and figure out how to embed it from YouTube to Prezi. The time you took problem solving that will end up being less than a minute in the future. =)
Xtra normal is a great site to use!!! To bad they are charging to use it now, my students liked it but not sure they would pay now to use it for the reports....
I've never even heard of xtranormal! Great inclusion. Using both that and the youtube AND including them in a Prezi show how we can use different forms of tech together. Great job. I wonder what other resources would fit in as seamlessly?

Ok - so this is a site I had in my Diigo bookmarks already -- but today when I looked at it, I saw, I mean really saw, the power of this site.
It's worth taking time out of your day to check out.
