The Periodic Table of Elements on Prezi
Prezi.com is a free online site that allows you to make presentations
visually captivating for your audience. A person can upgrade their account in
order to make it private and only have certain invited guests to view the Prezi
presentations. If you are not upgraded, your prezis are public and can be
copied by other people. However, if you are a teacher and your institution has
a website, you can register as an educator and set your prezis to private. You
even get more memory when you upgrade to being a teacher.
Prezi can
be a collaborative program. I would like to use this in an online setting and
work with group members to create a presentation for the class. The option to
have the prezi edited by numerous users is available, as well as the options to
only allow you the ability to edit. The only downfall to prezi is that you
cannot embed audio into the presentation. You can however, include images,
previously created PowerPoint presentations, YouTube videos, drawings, and
files. I originally created the prezi you see above as a PowerPoint
presentation for my class. I uploaded it to prezi and organized it to enhance
the attention of my audience. Although it took a lot of time, I believe it was
worth it. I asked my students which presentation they preferred and all of them
said the prezi presentation. I believe this is because the zooming affects
helps keep the information organized and also captures the audience’s
attention. I feel the more someone uses this program, the more they will enjoy
the positive outcomes of it.
Prezi can
also be shared in a meeting type setting where everyone is in the same room, or
through remote locations. There can be up to 10 people in the meeting. The prezi
is printable and you have the option to view together, download, save a copy,
and delete. The prezis can be shared directly to Facebook, Twitter, or
e-mailed. Prezi-U is a professional community within the website in which you
can view and use success stories, tips, tricks, and best practices, and also
get material and advice for our own prezis. You can find articles, prezis in
the library, and videos that will help you with your own prezi or even one to
present to our class.

doesn’t work, please follow the link to my Prezi profile (prezi.com/user/etelles/).
