This presentation will discuss the perceptions of graduate students in the field as to how Prezi and Spicy Nodes can be used by themselves and their own students. In the pilot class the purpose of the assignment was to elicit thinking on the subject. The graduate students also had to use both web 2.0 tools for a specific assignment. In conjunction with the assignments, the graduate students were asked to submit their ideas for best uses of the tools. This session is an overview of their results.

How do we, as educators of educators, promote student thinking and subsequent application of new tools?

What thoughts and uses did a specific group of graduate students submit after a personal project was completed?
