=**PREZI**=
 * ===a cloud-based presentation software tool. It is similar to Power Point, but is much easier to learn, and can be used for presentations that are non-linear in nature. Power Point, in contrast, has a hierarchical, linear structure built int. Prezi, therefore, is much more intuitive and easy to use. You start with a blank canvas and add information in any sequence, mapping out the order of the points later, or changing it easily. It lends itself well to the use of eye-catching graphics and formats, and it is very easy to embed videos.===
