Online Presentation Tools

I played with two presentation tools this week. 

Prezi.com

I really liked this tool, and best of all it is free.  It is easy to use.  After viewing the tutorial, the website walked me through creating a simple prezi to practice my skills before making my own.  I would recommend using this for our course project because it has many multi-media capabilities that will be engaging for learners.  I am excited to start using prezi.com to motivate my students to learn. 

Prezentit.com

I was not a big fan of this tool.  It too is free, but it was not very easy to use.  When I typed in my words on the page and clicked off of them I could not see them.  I was not able to figure out how to see them again, although I could still see them on the little slide on the left side of the screen.  Also, I tried to upload a photo, but was unsuccessful.  I waited a couple of minutes and eventually gave up because it was taking a long time.  I would not recommend using this tool for our course project because it is not user friendly and it seems slow.

  1. Diana: Did you have any trouble downloading your Prezi and then dropping it into the dropbox? I can access my Prezi through the web address, however, it will not download.

  2. Yeah, I had the same problem. Mr. Lyman said to just put the link in the dropbox. So I copied and pasted it there. Hope this helps!
