Presentation tools are something of a wide topic, I mean there are millions of them, and some people think that some are better than others. Though I have my pick, the one that I will be talking about is giving Google docs and PowerPoint a run for their money. I enjoy using this presentation tool called Prezi.
Prezi is a tool that has become more popular especially in college, and marketing careers. I was taught to use this last year because they said that PowerPoint, which we used before, was simply Stone Age compared to the options that the internet offers us today. After using Prezi, I can see that they are right. Creating with Prezi is a good skill to learn and use, not just for your school career but for college and life.
There are just some things that make Prezi a new hip way to get a point across. Like most presentation tools, you put the content on a slide of some sort and you cycle through them. On Prezi, it is all designed the same way only not on slides but a big plot map of info. There are thousands of Prezi designs that you can chose from to make your presentation stand out. With this big plot map of info you may need to zoom into each one, and Prezi has it covered. After creating the Prezi you can program the Prezi to zoom into a specific info template that you want, and in any order that you want.
One of the cool features of Prezi is the video option. Using this you can insert a video directly from YouTube with the click of a button. You later program the Prezi to zoom in and play the video at any time you like. Another neat feature of Prezi that is different is the background music option. This allows you to insert some of your personal music from your computer to be playing softly in the background of your Prezi to really set the mood. Though this option is widely used, I myself have never really used it. The next feature to me is really weird. If you use Prezi, then why do you need this? You can actually insert PowerPoint slides into your Prezi content. Though this is really backwards it could come in handy if you were using an online PowerPoint for information. Even though these are only three features of Prezi, it also has all of the same things as the other presentation tools, though I think they are easier to use, and look better.
With all of this being said I think the only way to fully learn a subject is to see for yourself. So if you are interested in this awesome presentation tool just visit Prezi.com and create a free account where you can explore and create.
