Chapter 4

PREZI
WHAT IS PREZI?

Prezi serves a similar function to PowerPoint, but with more powerful and
interesting features. In Prezi presentation are created on a canvas rather
than on slides. This encourages presenters to focus on combining text, image
and multimedia. Items on the canvas can be dragged, tilted and zoomed to
create engaging look. A path can be drawn between the different elements
on the stage to create animation.

ADVANTAGES OF PREZI

According to Tarr (2009), Prezi has the following benefits:

1. It has the wow factor which PowerPoint lost many years ago.
2. The canvas layout deters presenters from using too much text.
3. It is easy to incorporate images, sounds and videos into one
presentation.
4. It is very easy to use.

41

Chapter 4: Prezi

USING PREZI

According to Lydia (2010), Prezi can be used in the following manner:

1. Formatting: Prezi limits glitz options significantly. It has about 8
backgrounds to choose from, and each has pre-programmed fonts
and colors that cant be changed. No more getting lost in the color
picker or the font window.
2. Text: Its easy to put in small amounts of text and more difficult to
enlarge the boxes to add too much text. This encourages students
to use bullets rather than paragraphs.
3. Images: Images can be added and users can use frames to zoom in
to a particular portion of a photo. For example, you can have the
program zoom to a portion of the photo- ask prediction questionsthen have the program zoom out to show the entire scene. You can
also easily focus in on a detail that might be lost when viewed as part
of the whole photo.
4. Video: Embedding video doesnt get much easier than Prezi,
especially if you are taking it from YouTube. Prezi also lets you upload
a wide variety of file formats for images and videos, but limits the file
size to 50 MB for the free version.
5. Sharing: This is a new feature in Prezi, and a pretty significant one.
You can share presentations with up to 10 viewers and allow them to
edit-making collaborative work a breeze. Users can sign up for
accounts easily.
6. Prezis embed easily into most webpages and can be used as
standalone teaching aids with some creativity in the design of the

Chapter 4: Prezi

42

presentation. Links to public prezis can be posted or emailed- making

student work easy to share with family and the world.
7. Differentiation:

The

biggest

difference

between

Prezi

and

traditional slideshow programs is the layout. Picture a large, flat

pallette upon which you lay the different elements of your
presentation. They can be in any arrangement you choose, unlike the
linear display of a PowerPoint. Creators use a path to connect the
elements, and this path allows users to move easily from one element
to another and back again. This layout is great for kids who need to
brainstorm, move things around, figure out the order, move it again,
and have flexibility in their design.
8. Wheel Reinvention: It just may be that the presentation you are
wanting to create for your class already exists, at least in a semiuseable form. Many users post their prezis and allow others to copy
them, edit them, and use them for their own purposes.
