TWT 2011 - Session 21: How to Create and Use Prezi to REALLY Snazz up Your Lectures!
Jeanne Schumacher jschumacher@harveyschool.org† Science Teacher Harvey School Grades PK-12 Subject areas: All Level of experience recommended: Basic † // Prezi is web based presentation software. It is a non-linear, zooming presentation tool that makes PowerPoint seem like an 8-Track tape. Prezi is amazingly fluid, flexible and visually dynamic. It creates a sense of movement and scale and allows text and imagery to be used as a powerful graphical element. It is a free form that allows users more control. Think PowerPoint on steroids! // // With Prezi, you are not working with slides. You have an enormous canvas on which to create your entire presentation. Everything is done online -- nothing to download or install. You can add text, shapes, and frames, as well as upload images, video, and .pdf documents to add to your Prezi. You can also embed YouTube videos. // // The best part? It is VERY easy to use! Come and learn how! // // † // // After taking this workshop, participants will be able to create a visually dynamic web based presentation that can be used in the classroom (for all subjects and grade levels). PowerPoint will seem dull and lifeless after you create a Prezi! // † Instructions for attendees: Bring a laptop and follow along! Visit [|http://www.prezi.com]† to find out more ahead of time!
