Prezi presentations.

Prezi is an online resource that allows you to create interactive and creative presentation that take their audience on a journey. Prior to this practice presentation I had never used prezi before, although I found it relatively easy to use and the outcome to be far higher quality than if I had made it using software such as Microsoft PowerPoint. In future presenting I will definitely be using this software again.
To begin this practice presentation I chose one of the ready made templates, although it is also possible to create your own templates that you can save for other presentations in the future (I did give this a try by could not find anything that I wanted to use as my over all theme). I chose the world map template, adding both a title and my name:

 

As this was a premade template all the text boxes and the path that the presentation too was already set, although I changed its path so that the presentation would go from right to left rather than the original left to right, mainly just to test out what the software could do and  how much control I had over the journey the presentation took.

Following this I set about filling in the interest areas:


 

As this presentation was simply to test my prezi abilities and test out the different ways in which it can be used I simply added some facts about each of the areas. Upon reflection i think that this software could be a valuable resource for all teachers or presenting professionals as it creates a mood board style presentation that can be travelled around rather than the standard flick through of slides. 

If I was to make another Prezi presentation i think that i would create my own original template that relates to the particular topic being presented, as it would make this process more creative and individual.
