===//Gather relevant information from multiple authoritative print and digital sources, using advanced searches effectively; assess the strengths and limitations of each source in terms of the task, purpose, and audience; integrate information into the text selectively to maintain the flow of ideas, avoiding plagiarism and overreliance on any one source and following a standard format for citation including footnotes and endnotes.//=== //-// [|Common Core Standards, Writing, Anchor Standard 8, Grade 12.

[|Prezi] is a web-based presentation tool that allows writers to //**creatively integrate information from print and digital sources**//. A completed Prezi allows a user to watch a presentation along the path the writer has chosen. It also allows readers to navigate the virtual space to "reread" the digital text selectively.

=Activity:= Read the exemplary Prezis below. First, read through them by clicking on the arrow at the bottom in order to advance through path, as you might view a slide show. Then, click and grab the text to navigate through the text without following the writer's path. Use the right side of the view field to zoom in and out. Skim through the presentations until you see how these different authors have mixed media. Be sure to check out the video below to see a group using a Prezi as a collaborative space for synchronous work.
