Our Culture Carry-Ons on Prezi
This is my first Prezi ever! It wasn’t hard, but it wasn’t easy either.
Here is what went well:
- The tutorials to get started are quick and easy to follow.
- To Add YouTube videos is a snap, and they work within the presentation.
- You are able to search images and adding them can be done without leaving your place in the Prezi.
- You can modify images and fonts with an editing dial.
- Directions for creating a presentation path is quick and easy to edit.
- It was easy to embed my Prezi right into this post.
- You can tweet your Prezi to share with others on Twitter.
Here is what did not work well:
- As added on more to my presentation, the size of my canvas grew bigger and bigger.
- As the canvas grew bigger, bits of text and images that I had typed in the beginning became so small that they got lost.
- It was difficult to enlarge some text once it was so much smaller than the newly added information.
I would definitely use Prezi again. I know there are more features to try out, and with more experience with the application, I can make some masterpieces on the Prezi canvas. Plus, I will get faster at making them. It will be like “Presto, Prezi!”
That is a great Prezi! Do you mind if I use it in my history classes as review?
What I love about Prezi is the dynamic sense of motion and its ability to combine all kinds of media. I had already decided to use it for final project presentation (which is why your title caught my attention), and played with it some. Your summary of advantages and disadvantages nicely wraps up my fairly limited experience with Prezi as well. I would add one more disadvantage – the sense of disorientation that can come with Prezi’s chop-a-block shifting from one spatial region to the next. I wonder whether it is possible to use a document map as the foundation for keeping the audience in tune with the overall layout?
