I just taught my Instructional Design final (50 minute lesson) and used Prezi as my method of presentation. I was surprised at how much it energized my presentation and interested the people who were listening! Powerpoint, I believe, can still be used effectively, but sites like Prezi make lessons much more engaging for everyone.
It was actually easier for me to focus on what I was saying because of the engaging nature of the method. If the message is impacted by the way that the listeners perceive it (which we know it is) then why not use the most engaging methods that are technologically available to us? The only feature of Prezi I don't like is that when you use it with a SMARTboard, you can't click anywhere on the screen to change the screen to the next "slide," you have to use the arrow at the bottom. It's at a weird place for my arm to reach, but ah well. :) Overall, Prezi rocked my lesson! :)
