No email account workaround:
The student may use their cell phone number as an email address. Examples: (x represents the 10 digit phone number) [Note:The student does not even need to have their phone with them to use this technique.]

 * Verizon xxxxxxxxxx@vtext.com

When naming Prezi's do not use characters like **";:'?.,<>-+=$#@!%^&*** in your title or the description of the Prezi. Later when you would like to embed you Prezi, like those above or below, the embed code provided by the Prezi system will have those characters added to the HTML code you are provided. This will cause an error that is hard to understand at first. The reason is that those characters are also used in the programing code. The website, blog or wiki will become confused. Even simple examples like naming your Prezi, "My first Prezi", will cause two extra quotation marks to be added to the embed code and that is enough to cause challenges. Better to just leave the extra characters out when name your Prezi or providing a description.
 * WARNING:**

=**What are Wikis?** = A wiki is a website where anyone can edit anything anytime they want. The word //wiki// is actually Hawaiian for "quick".
