I have always wondered how to make my Powerpoint more interesting and creative. Prezi lights my world! It’s fabulous! Prezi is a cloud-based and storytelling tool for exploring and sharing ideas on a virtual blank slate. Unlike Powerpoint, using Prezi we could zoom in and out of our presentations with in one slide instead of multiple slides. It is pretty creative and more fun. We can see the slides moving on the screen: left, right, up, or down. It depends where you want place your next slide when you are making your stuff. Prezi is pretty good for using in classroom. First of all, there is more fun in there. We can see where we go as the slides moving around on the nice screen rather than merely changing slides. We can choose Blank background to design on our own. Teachers can put a picture as their Prezi background that could make more sense to students. For example, let’s say we have a class today talking about dog; we can definitely Google a nice dog picture as the Prezi background. Both teachers and students get more options on free version. We could keep our slides simple and zoom in, which keeps students’ attention. Instead of having the whole slides of information there, we can put key points. Besides images, we can insert videos, graphs, or play videos in Prezi. In addition, through using Prezi, it is great for when using web mapping or concept maps as our teaching tool. However, for cons, we can only present Prezi online, which means that we must have Internet access in classroom. We need to pay for using the whole program, but it is free for the basic stuff. We have to pay for the high-level design maybe. However, I think it is not necessary. What’s more, we can’t print the slides on Prezi. I think I’m going to use Prezi a lot. I’ll use it for my next presentation! By the way, Prezi website has a good tutorial on how to create a Prezi presentation. You can see the YouTube video as well. Just learn everything on YouTube!
