Enhancing Teaching Presentations with Prezi

Mohamed Amin Embi

What is Prezi? It serves a similar function to power Point, but

with more powerful & interesting features.

Presentation are created on a ‘canvas’ rather than on slides.

This encourages presenters to focus on combining text, image & multimedia.

What is Prezi? Items on the canvas can be dragged, tilted &

zoomed to create engaging look.

A ‘path’ can be drawn between the different elements on the stage to create animation.

Why use Prezi? Prezi has the ‘wow’ factor which Power Point

lost many years ago.

The ‘canvas’ layout deters presenters from using too much text.

Why use Prezi? It is easy to incorporate images, sounds &

videos into one presentation

Most importantly of all: it is very easy to use!
