Prezume by Prezi

According to the Prezi website,  Prezi is a presentation software program that uses motion, zoom, and spatial relationships to bring your ideas to life.  I have used Prezi templates before in the past but wanted to see  if I could incorporate this into our resume/cover letter unit we are required to teach.  A prezume is a template in Prezi that allows you to create a resume using Prezi, thus forming a "Prezume". You can choose from three different templates.  I have always found Prezi to be not very intuitive.  Doing this exercise proved not to be any different as I fumbled my way through it.  Although Prezi allows you to create sort of a "buzz" with your presentation, I have generally found that presenters using Prezi had more "sizzle than steak" in their presentation.   That being said, I could see myself using a Prezume template while teaching our resume/cover letter unit.  I think the students would probably enjoy making them after we first created  our resume in a Word document.   I am interested in learning about other presentation software programs that might be more intuitive to use than Prezi.  
This lesson most closely is aligned with ISTE-1  Facilitate and inspire student learning and creativity.  Prezi does allow students to be more creative in their presentations
