Internet Tools Exploration Review- Prezi

 

            Prezi is a website created in 2009. It was designed to help people create exciting presentations. It can be useful for companies, teachers, and students. I personally love how interactive Prezi presentations are. I get excited when I am doing research and find a Prezi on the topic I am searching because I enjoy navigating through the presentation. I've used it in college, but I've yet to incorporate it in my lessons. According to Peter Arcvai, Prezi's CEO & Cofounder, "Prezi helps you organize your thoughts and deliver them in a clearer way that really makes an impact on your audience and helps them reach that 'ah-hah' moment faster." 

            While exploring Prezi, I was able to play around with the features you can use when creating a presentation. I feel like college lectures/presentations, business presentations, and school professional development presentations will benefit from using Prezi. It may be hard for students younger than middle school to use though, so I wouldn’t suggest it to my 3^rd graders. I do think they’d enjoy lessons using Prezi as it is something different than what they are used to seeing.

            Ultimately, I think it’s a great presentation tool. I hope to use it more over the course of my graduate degree program. I appreciate the fact that it is free. Prezi also allows you to utilize their app (all you would have to do is download it to your device). While using the app, you can download your presentations so that you can present without relying on the internet. I’ve yet to download the app, but I might do so soon on my work laptop because of how much I enjoy using the website.
