    Sabine - Can you go into your prezi account and check that the Japan prezi is working? For some reason it will not play on the blog. Copy the share link onthe blog so I can post it. Thank you.

    HI mr buxton i was wondering if our current events presentation could be on a festival or celebration of something of the sort, or does it have to be on something that doesn't happen annualy?

    Not yet Anisha, but I will.

    Good question - On the surface - NO to festivals.. However, it is more about how you present the information. Can you tweak your idea and present it as a current event? - If you can, then it is OK!

    P.S. Which word did you spell wrong?

    also, i tried to make an account on popplet, but once i tried to login, i kept loading for like 3 hours, and it still didn't log in! Did that happen because i might have accidentally not finished the registration process?

    Popplet gets used often and sometimes its servers are overloaded. (that's why it won't log you on) The site was down Sat and Sun. That might have been your problem. It is not the most reliable site I use, so you may need to just try it the next day.
