Group 3 Technologies - Presentation Tools - PREZI - Reflection

Please click on Prezi if you would like to have a look at my second attempt at a Prezi. A very basic Prezi but I'm proud of it.

I can not wait to try another Prezi and make it really exciting with pictures and Youtube links etc. I really thought it was going to be alot harder. If I can do it anyone can.

The Prezi tool would be great for upper primary with a guiding Learner Manager, together they would be able to make some incredible Prezi's.

Prezi's are not linear like PowerPoint. Learners who learn best with simple clear straightforward sequenced presentations may prefer PowerPoint. However, Prezi can make you feel like you are actually travelling on a journey as the presentation moves around the screen taking you with it.  A Prezi is engaging due to the movement and the ability to display minute details. A Prezi feels a little spontaneous as as a viewer you do not know where you are going next and you wait in anticipation.

As a creator of a Prezi one thing to consider is how much movement you incorporate into your presentation, sometimes to much movement and viewers feel they are on a rollcoaster.

A Prezi may take a little longer to learn than PowerPoint for some learners. However if the learners follow the instructions and guidance from their learner manager creation of a basic Prezi is not too hard.  As a learner becomes more confident in their abilities in creating a Prezi the design opportunities are endless.

A Prezi needs to be viewed on-line which may not be possible all the time. This has to be taken into consideration when lesson planning for a Teacher's Prezi and the location of the learnes when they want to present their Prezi to others.
Thank you for your help Jackie, the HTML is needed to link.
