We all know how to create a basic PowerPoint presentation. Don't you find it a bit tiring and common nowadays? I did learn how to create an interactive presentation using PowerPoint and appreciated it, however more programs definitely need to be utilized.
Throughout the semester, my Foundations of Education course has required the students to present over our chapters of reading in each class. Of course the easiest solution for the presentation was a simple PowerPoint presentation. I admit, I was among my friends creating the easiest, most basic slide-show. I honestly didn't know what else to use.
Then one day, a group showed a presentation that caught my eye. Through the transitions, pictures, and ease of the slide-show, I had to know what it was. Keynote? PowerPoint? No. A simple, free online program called Prezi. A note to all of you students and teachers out there: you can use an advanced version of Prezi for free that is usually $59/year.
Prezi allows you to create a presentation from your already-created PowerPoint and Keynote presentations. You are also able to create handouts easily with your Print option on Prezi. Also, you are able to access your Prezi through the Internet, so no worries about emailing your work to yourself and opening it through email or carrying around a USB drive.
