Using multimedia in the classroom helps teachers to engage students and provide them with valuable learning opportunities. With the help of multimedia, teachers can present the information to the students combining words and pictures to engage them into the lesson. It is easier to remember a picture than a paragraph, and a video gives more real time knowledge than an oral explanation.

What a great Powtoon video find to wrap up your Prezi - it really captures the essence of your chosen concepts. The next time you try a Prezi, be sure to focus more on key concepts or single sentence (i.e., much less text) and more video/larger images. You can always add more detail in another 'bubble'. :) If you think about how impactful it is for teachers to create, imagine how such multimedia projects can be for students!
