Using Prezi

Using Prezi

Learning how to use Prezi in the classroom for presentations.

by Timothy Strom

Prezi is presentation and notetaking tool, much like Microsoft Powerpoint, but with much more integrated features.

Prezi is a free online tool, but can be upgraded with different fees associated with each additional feature. 

Prezi can be used for presentations and note taking equally, and one can morph into the other.

If a student uses Prezi to take notes in a project, then they can eventually use the same Prezi to show the class what they learned. 

If a teacher shares the Prezi with students, they all can contribute to a project for an idea think tank.

Here's an example of a Prezi I have done before.

Upon going to www.prezi.com, you can find this screen for the options for Prezi.

The free option works fine and is very useful for most applications.

Sign up and follow the instructions. You can add bubbles, write in the bubbles (including links) and direct the arrows between the bubbles. 

Once you map out your presentation, you can use the presentation tools to show the flow of the diagram you just made.
