Prezi
A PMI has been constructed to show the benefits and dangers of Prezi in schools.
Prezi is a “web-based program that allows you to create more of a canvas presentation instead of a sequential slide presentation” (Hamilton, 2010, p. 1).
Positives
Ø Able to incorporate not only text and pictures but also videos.
Ø The presentation can be created online before downloading the final product so that internet connection is no longer required.
Ø There are a number of useful features that can be incorporated when designing a Prezi (zooming, rotating).
Ø There is no need to install anything.
Ø Visual presentation tool to engage the students.
Ø No bullet points - enables the presentation to be more enjoyable and engaging.
Minuses
Ø Internet is required to design a Prezi.
Ø Can cause dizziness due to the large amounts of turning and zooming throughout the presentation.
Ø Relatively large file when saving.
Ø Limited fonts.
Ø Images are static once inserted unlike PowerPoint how transitions can be attached to the images.
Interesting
Ø Instead of relying on individual sheets of information, Prezi incorporates this information into a digital presentation. The presentation operates using a pre-set pathway.
Ø Unlike a PowerPoint a Prezi is not linear. The information is not displayed in a slide formation it is more like a canvas.
Ø By using Prezi it enables the presenter to zoom in and out of the information that is being presented.
Ø It provides the learners with a global perspective on the topic.
