Prezi, a great service for taking presentations beyond bullets and pictures, has just announced that they're offering a free education license for teachers and students. Prior to this announcement the free version of Prezi did not allow for making content private. The new education license will allow teachers and students to keep their content private. The education license also offers five times the storage space of the previous free Prezi license. To get an education license you need to register using your school's email address.
In the announcement of the new, free education licenses Prezi cites this blog post as one of the reasons for the change. It's great to see a company respond to the education community. It's also a good example of what can be accomplished with an online campaign.
If you've never tried Prezi, I encourage to read this post and or watch the following video.

Hey - I tried to sign up earlier today.. your school email address has to match your school site address. Ours doesn't... so I wrote them.
ie:
school email end in
@thompson.k12.co.us
school site url is
tvhseagles.org
no match so you can't register for the ed account.
Just got a response from prezi... if school and email addresses don't match... used district site url..
They match.. cool.
Monika,
That's great to hear. I'm glad that Prezi is being responsive to the needs of educators. It would have been disappointing if they locked you out because of a simple problem.

I love prezi but it has major flaws; the support is almost non-existent and there are two many bugs; (not loading past the E in prezi) is the most common one. Maybe they should focus on fixing that too.
Works well for me. Signed up with no problem. Found some great prezis about Ancient Egypt which are suitable for my Year 3 class.
