Prezi allows for the creation of unique diagrams and
templates.
Sample Tools:
 Cause & Effect Diagrams- allows one to analyzes
complex situations in a method that clarifies what the
main issues are.
 Bubble Diagrams- two dimensional illustrations linking
ideas to a common thread.
 Timeline Modeling – Provides animation allowing the
audience to follow events or ideas chronologically.
 Flow Diagrams – Show relationships between
ideas.
 Zoom – Allows the presenter to focus on a
main or central idea at any given time during
the presentation.
 Infinite usable canvas space – Engages the
audience.
 Click “New Prezi”
 Select a Template
 Click “Use Template”
 Free and web-based
 Easy to use; no drawing skills needed
 User friendly
 Media files can be added
 Image
 Audio
 Video
 Can be embedded into Webpages & Blogs
 Capable of having movement actually become
part of the presentation
 Zooming
 Higher learning curve
 Different user interface than PowerPoint
 Group collaboration can be more difficult
 Cannot print handouts
 Graphic capabilities are limited
 Work is done online, unless you purchase the
paid version
 Can cause headaches/motion sickness
 Technological tools for visual presentation offer
students ways to experiment with the use of
graphics that aid in understanding subject matters
and promote motivation to engage in learning.
 Technological tools can also offer educators
effective ways to reach different types of learners
and assess a students understanding through
multiple means. It can also enhance the
relationship between teacher and student.
 Prezi is one of the best technological Web-based
programs that allow students and teachers to
create graphic presentations that can consist of a
variety of content.
 Tip # 1: Consider your content
Prezi has a judicious blend of text, images, diagrams
and video that can be used simultaneously.
 Tip # 2: Create a rough “Blueprint” before
building your Prezi
Sketch a basic outline of presentation structure and
proposed arrangement of components before completing
a canvas.
 Tip # 3: Choose your design theme early
Create the design before arranging your components on
the canvas.
 Tip # 4: Design BIG and use changes of scale
Make use of the entire canvas by using different size
fonts so that there is space in between your contents.
 Tip # 5: Design to minimize fast motion
Be mindful of creating content with a lot of animation
consistent zooming and rotation can cause
disorientation.
 Tip # 6: Use hidden frames to reduce clutter
This will help you organize and zoom in on content
without adding a visual frame.
 Tip # 7: Understand how Prezi effects image
resolution
Be mindful that your images can become distorted if
magnified . Therefore understanding how Prezi’s image
resolution works can help with clear images.
