Benefits of using cartoons in the classroom

Today, teachers are using Prezi tools to engage students in a variety of ways, including flipping the classroom from traditional direct instruction, providing study guides, and facilitating online learning *(blog.prezi.com - Leonard, 2020)*.

• According to www.commonsense.org, Prezi can be used to highlight key points without all the distractions that regular slideshows may present.

• Teachers can use the tool in a traditional classroom setting to lay out key ideas, or they can design full lessons to be viewed at home - if using a flipped classroom model . A flipped classroom is a type of blended learning where students are introduced to content at home and practice working through it at school. This is the reverse of the more common practice of introducing new content at school, then assigning homework and projects to completed by the students independently at home *(teachthought.com, n.d)*.

How to use Prezi in the teaching and learning process

• The teacher can create a Prezi slideshow that lists definitions, examples, etc for the topic he/she wants to teach and then share the link with the students.

• The teacher can use Prezi as an excellent tool for students to use to create presentations instead of creating a Powerpoint. It is very similar to PowerPoint, and they just have to get used to a few different techniques when adding and creating new pieces in their presentation.

• Teachers can use Prezi to conduct research on topics she/he plan to teach as Prezi contains a wider range of presentations on different topics.
