If you’d like to break out from using PowerPoint for a change, why not try Prezi? It’s not difficult to learn and can be used to create an impressive dynamic presentation. One tip from experience - don’t do too much of the zooming and rotation or your audience will complain of sea-sickness! Here’s an example from James Geary – a TED talk (see our Advent Calendar Day 10) – on Mixing Mind and Metaphor.
I would love to use it, but who will pay the subscription?
The free version of Prezi is fine for most purposes.
You can create show and share prezis at Prezi.com and download them to view/demo offline.
With the free version you can’t make them private offline (download them and upload them somewhere else instead) and have a limited space to store the prezis online.
