Voicethread: http://voicethread.com/ Voicethread is an online tool for facilitating collaborative discourse around media. Users create Voicethreads by uploading images, video, and documents to the site. Each upload creates one frame in the Voicethread. The creator can then narrate each frame using his or her voice or by adding text to each frame. Voicethread is an effective tool for presenting information asynchronously. Once an instructor creates a Voicethread other users, or students, can comment and discuss what the instructor created.
Prezi: http://prezi.com/ Prezi is a free online presentation creation site. Unlike PowerPoint, which presents information in a linear fashion, Prezi allows instructors to present information in a more dynamic way. As users click through a Prezi, the presentation appears to fly up, down, backwards, forwards, and diagonally through visual effects. Prezi offers users a variety of backgrounds to choose from, and users can also upload images, and video links to their Prezi. The visual movement of a Prezi may be distracting to some learners, but it may also be attractive so learners who prefer a nonlinear, dynamic presentation of information. Instructors must decide when and how to use a Prezi to present information.
