Science Prezi

11/18/2013

0 Comments

 

Unfinished Rainforest Prezi Example

Here is an unfinished example of what I will be using in class to demonstrate some of the features of Prezi.  Please note that this is not finished.  I didn't have Mrs. Burkett's rubric when I made it, so please make sure you follow her rubric, not my example.

PowerPoint versus Prezi

You have a lot of options when it comes to creating a presentation.  Each tool has different strengths and weaknesses.  The following are reasons you would pick Prezi rather than Microsoft PowerPoint.  NOTE;  One tool is not better than the other, they are just different.
  • PowerPoint is like a box of tissues and Prezi is like a roll of paper towels.    With PowerPoint you have individual slides;  whereas with Prezi you have a never ending canvas.
  • This can cause different behaviors, but doesn't force you to.
  • PowerPoint make people think sequentially and people tend to use a lot of bullet points.
  • The Prezi canvas gives people the ability to be more free flowing.  A good Prezi tells a story that unfolds and finishes with the "reveal" - when you zoom out and see the big picture. 

Prezi Basic Features

I'm going to explain some basic concepts and demonstrate some of the basic features of Prezi for this project.  There are many more features that you can explore on your own.
  • Canvas
  • Lock and Unlock Presentation
  • Adding text
  • Adding images
  • Adding Videos
  • Adding URLs (Cite sources)
  • Adding Sound (MP3, M4A, FLAC, WMA, WAV, OGG, AAC, MP4, 3GP)
  • Transformation Tool
  • Frames
  • Navigate and rearrange path

Tips

  • Recommend you start with a template this time rather than a blank canvas
  • Cite Image Sources by copy and pasting URLs
  • Right Click gives you some options (e.g. change background, send backwards, send to back, etc.)
  • Undo & Redo
  • Make sure you pick fonts, font colors, and font sizes that are easy to read
  • Explore to see what other people have done and see what you like and dislike about their presentations

Project Resources

  • Accessing Prezi - you can get an account and login from this link.  This is a free "education" account, so you need to register with your school email address.
  • Prezi How To Videos
  • Prezi Manual and Frequently Asked Questions
  • Good sources for images - Wikimedia Commons and Compfight are good sites to start with.  They make it easy to find public domain and creative common images and make attributions easy.
  • Partner's in Rhyme is a good source of free sound files.  They also have "paid sound effects".
