Sample animoto EHWLC and a personal one

extras:
Wordle has been mentioned twice and it has generated some interest- if you haven't tried it yet you could: How to make and use  a 'Wordle' word cloud - watch then go to wordle.net and make a few (use 'snipping tool' to capture image and paste into word or PowerPoint or to create an image)

or try 'tagxedo' which alllows you to make shapes from your word clouds like the one in the handbook.

watch this ScreenR I made on some of the things to remember when making a Prezi
Some golden rules of Prezi

In my view the most useful thing here is the screen blank (press 'b') during presentation- I use that a lot in PowerPoint
