App of the week: Prezi.com

Posted on 14. Mar, 2010 by in Fresh Ideas, Resources, Technology

A few months ago, I saw someone post about the new web-based presentation software called Prezi. I was immediately impressed. It was certainly an “outside the box” approach to presentation software. It’s web based, it has a really functional free version and it can be operated outside of a browser and even offline. Genius!
Now the first example I saw of Prezi was someone’s presentation for a class they were teaching. It wasn’t anything fancy, but it was still cool. Then about a month ago my friend Sam Luce used Prezi for a message he was teaching in “old people’s church.” So, last week I conducted a training where I used Prezi. It was pretty easy and really cool. I threw it together pretty quick.
Here’s what is cool about Prezi. You can throw something together with very little experience and you’re still going to have a pretty cool presentation. Or, if you know what you’re doing, you can create something killer like the presentation below.

Below is my presentation. It’s not really all that fancy. Its my first attempt at a Prezi slideshow. I’m sure the next one will be better. Be sure to get online and check it out!
