Is Prezi the best tool for you?
Prezi is a presentation application that has been receiving a great deal of recognition lately for its alternative approach to presentations. It has a great deal of fans due to its versatility. What else makes it so great? Read on!
Flash-based
Because Prezi is flash-based, your presentation doesn’t need to be entirely linear, like most presentations. Instead, you can create a visual map containing anything from words to links.
You can zoom in and out of that map to view various parts of the presentation, and can move between areas. This eliminates the need to have identical slides throughout the presentation. It also prevents you from having to revisit a previous slide if you need to reference it again.
Intuitive
Prezi presentations are built differently than most, which can make it hard to get accustomed to at first. Once you have become comfortable with the program, however, it is like second nature. You can create presentations like you would a thought map, which is fantastic for those non-linear thinkers.
If you are having any trouble getting used to the user interface, simply take a look at one of the many tutorials on Prezi’s website.
While Prezi is web-based, it lets you download your presentation once it is complete. This is especially convenient for anyone who worries about the stability of his or her Internet connection during the presentation. The tool can be used for free or purchased for $59/year for additional storage and privacy.
Prezi is an incredible tool. While not everyone is looking to ditch PowerPoint, this is a great alternative.
