Prezi

I examined only one presentation tool and had pretty much decided I was going to use before I even looked at it. Prezi is used by the IT department at my school and they are close friends of mine. When we met and they brought up this tool I was reluctant to use it. They always poke highly of it and recommended it highly. But with all the new tools I am already learning, Atlas Rubicon, PowerSchool, and more, I was hesitant to get involved with another new technology tool. After watching the presentation and playing around with Prezi myself, I quickly changed my mind.

I already use a lot of PowerPoints and am very familiar with how to use it. I thought Prezi though was much simpler and the actual learning curve will be quite small. Prezi seems fun, simple and easily adapted to almost any context. I also think that if someone else were to borrow my work, they could easily and quickly change it to make it suitable for their own use.

When I started working with Prezi I was very pleased and surprised at just how simple it is. There are not so many tools and menu options like in PowerPoint. The tools are more readily accessible without having to search through so many different menus to search for exactly what I am looking for. Though that might become problematic when I get more sued to it and try to more complicated things, time will tell.

For sure I will use Prezi and I am excited to see what I can accomplish with it.
