Visit my Prezi @ []

So, I played a little with Prezi, and I love it! It is very easy to use, which is awesome because I an not very savvy when it comes to presentation slides and elaborate transitioning. I created this presentation for a lesson on Ethos, Logos, and Pathos, which is supposed to show and teach students persuasive techniques.

The good: Again, Prezi is very easy to use and doesn't require much. It's free! It is very easy to add youtube videos, images, and text. It is also very easy to change sizes, alignment, and direction of each item. You have the option to add frames that allows you to group related items together without it being too distracting (something I still need to work on). Creating a presentation path is as easy as 1, 2, 3...literally. You basically add sequence order appropriate to your preference. Also, since this is internet-based, you don't need to worry about flash drives or software compatibility, only internet access. Overall, Prezi is convenient, user friendly, and better than PowerPoint :)

The bad: You are limited to only a few font options and colors. There is also no option to fade and disappear items, such as bullet points and images. You require internet in order to access it, so working offline isn't possible, unless you pay for the service that includes the option, but this may not be such a problem since the internet is easily accessible in most educational locations. Finally, there is no spell check, so misspelled words are easy to go unnoticed, especially when you're a terrible speller like me =)

For your entertainment, here is a stand-up comedy skit on PowerPoint. This is a must see!! []
