PREZI killed PowerPoint! How to Integrate PREZI in the Classroom
Posted by Sandra Pinto Pires | Filed under E Learning, Net Tips, Resources, Web tools
This Web tool is the cherry on top of the cake!
I am fan of web tools, but this one wowed me!
In a nutshell, PREZI is a simpler and fancier version of PowerPoint – Instead of a slide based linear structure, it gives you a single big canvas to work on.
PREZI allows you to create unbelievably dynamic presentations, where you can zoom in and out across a large poster, create motion paths, add text, embed images and video files or YouTube videos…
There’s no need to install anything on to your computer – PREZI is delivered entirely online.
PREZI’s zooming feature grabs and holds the viewers’ attention. It lets you create a sort of walking path through your presentation that makes it engaging and striking.
PREZI is extremely easy to use and to figure out – just watch the 2 minutes tutorial and you or your students will be up and creating Prezis in no time!
Watch the tutorial …
