Initially the students saw this as another stumbling block that they would have to get over, but once they had watched the instructional videos on the website, the students loved it, and after a survey, the majority of the students chose to use Prezi instead of PowerPoint. This teaches us how, although it may frustrate students at first, requiring them to use Web 2.0 tools that they havent used before will help students learn and understand a foreign language better.
