Janet Hovorka, the creator and owner of Family ChartMasters, and The Chart Chick blog, made three excellent presentations at the Southern California Genealogical Society Genealogy Jamboree 2012. They were:
1) "Hatching Eggs: The Chart Chick Engages Her Teenage Children With Their Family History." You can view this presentation, in Prezi format, at http://tinyurl.com/hatchingfamilyhistory
2) "Magnifying Glass, Wide-Angle Lens or Telescope? Charts to Visualize Your Family Tree." You can view this presentation, in Prezi format, at http://tinyurl.com/gencharts. There is a 30 minute video tutorial for Family ChArtist at http://www.familychartmasters.com/video.
3) "Advocating Genealogy and Growing the Market: Issues of the New Genealogist." This presentation is not available online as far as I know.
I am really intrigued by the Prezi style of presentation. I love the transitions from slide to slide and find myself trying to guess what's going to happen next. I thought maybe it would be distracting for audience members during a presentation, but it actually enhanced my interest and curiosity about "what's coming next.
Thank you to Janet for making two of her presentations available to her audience.

Randy, I saw Janet's "Advocating Genealogy" presentation at Rootstech and loved it! I blogged about the presentation, but don't think I mentioned Prezi. I do know I immediately Googled Prezi because I was so impressed with it's format.
Randy,
I'm so glad you liked the presentations. We've added our new video with 4 lectures on involving your family in their family history, including the hatching eggs lecture to our video selection on the website. www.familychartmasters.com/video. And the "Magnifying Glass..." video is also on the chart video there along with a couple of others. And we had a great discussion with "Advocating Genealogy." www.myconferenceresource.com created of video of it. I had a great time presenting them. I'm glad you enjoyed them.
