Overview

Who Prezi is For:

Prezi is for people who want to make amazing presentations without the need for design skills. It’s also for those who want a unique PowerPoint alternative. You can make an engaging Prezi without ever even considering the use of bullet points.

Skill Level:

Prezi is kind of difficult to use. It’s tough to figure out how it works initially because it is different. You’ll probably want to start with a template and try to map out the main points of your presentation before you get going.

Deployment:

With Prezi, there’s nothing to download, you’ll access the application entirely online.

Special Features:

Prezi allows you to set-up your presentation from a bird’s eye view. As you click through your presentation, you’ll end up narrowing down your topic. It really is a unique tool. Nothing else has that built-in ability to go from broad to narrow and visualize it. Prezi also comes with many templates to help you get started.

Disadvantages:

The constant zooming in and out might give some viewers a little motion sickness. I like how you can go from a bird’s eye view of your presentation to more specific details, but some people will complain about the effect.
