What does it do? Prezi

And what can it do for me?

Prezi is a free tool that creates exciting presentations as an alternative to Powerpoint

It is cloud based – stored online – so you can access your presentations from anyway

Won’t that be more work?

Don’t worry, you can import all your Powerpoint presentations, you don’t need to recreate them!

You can then rearrange your slides on the

zoomable canvas

There is a learning curve

But it’s worth it!

What does Prezi look like?

Prezi can be very engaging

Just be careful not to make your audience
