I’m glad you found it useful. Prezi is a great tool.

Interesting observation. There are actually much better tools for text collaboration than there are for video. I suspect this has something to do with file sizes and bandwidth issues involved in real-time editing of video files by multiple folks in different locations.

I completely agree. Prezi is something that I learned to use too and it definitely will use it in the future. Moving text makes such a difference because it helps your brain remember the text and Prezi allows the author to make their text move.

I agree that e-textbooks have many benefits, however in the current situation they are just too expensive of a demand for all students to have them. What would be nice if Apple could implement in the future a program that gives schools a discount on e-readers or iPads if they buy them in bulk. So that when students arrive on their first day of High School they can all have the choice to purchase an e-reader for only 50$ instead of the usual 100$ or more. This would be a pretty steep demand on e-reader companies to cut their prices in half, but if they did it would be really great PR for the company and would probably create some life-long buyers. Then everyone could have the chance to learn on such an easy and successful device!
