Drug information questions for PSL-2 in Prezi

I have finally found a good use for Prezi, a zoom presentation tool that I have posted about previously.  For the second year pharmacy student drug information lecture I created a Prezi around a drug information question.  This allowed non-linear paths through the information (cf with Powerpoint slides).  The class dictated which information to reveal next, they could not be influenced by "the instructors next slide is ____, therefore this must be the next step".  It worked quite well, and I think I will be using Prezi again.

Are clonazepam wafers available?

Is azithromycin safe in pregnancy?

Is there a drug interaction between risperidone and simvastatin?

Social Bookmarking Tools - Introduction To Diigo

The amount of information on the internet can be overwhelming, how do you find and organize useful websites? As a drug information pharmacist I have 300+ favorites saved in my web browser which I refer to on a regular basis. I have accumulated these resources over several years and organized them into folders in my web browser. Each folder has websites that are useful for answering a specific drug information question (ex. drug interactions, herbal products, immunizations, etc).
Social bookmarking is a relative new way to save and organize bookmarks in an online environment. In addition to saving your own bookmarks, the social aspect allows you to share your bookmarks with others and find useful bookmarks added by other members. This slidecast presentation is an overview of Diigo, a social bookmarking website that has many addition tools, like highlighting and WebSlides presentation. For those that are interested, my Diigo bookmarks can be found here.
Diigo Prezi Presentation
As I mentioned in a previous post I have been experimenting with a presentation tool called Prezi. The concept map I created in that last post helped to organize the content I wanted to used, but I found Prezi quite difficult to use even with the assistance of the help section. Despite the steep learning curve, I still like Prezi and will continue to experiment with it in future presentations.

Diigo - Concept Map

Diigo is a social bookmarking tool that allows sharing of bookmarks among friends, groups and communities. This c-map is a reinterpretation of a presentation I created in powerpoint and posted to Slideshare.

Next, I am going to attempt to reinvent the presentation using Prezi, a zooming presentation tool that allows much more creative organization and linking of concepts. This c-map helped me to get away from the linear thinking that Powerpoint requires and will hopefully help me when using Prezi.
