It's all about SpicyNodes

So I've been looking for more creative ways to present information to students. I love Prezi and have stumbled upon Diigo Slides. My goal is to move away from powerpoint for in class presentations and use more interactive, non-predictable technologies.

I've always love concept maps (Inspiration user here) and mind maps (I heart MindMiester). SpicyNodes is a combination of the two.

Below is a SpicyNode I made for a lecture I gave on Web 2.0 to some grad students at George Mason University.
