We are presenting the initial overview of our community project for St Ann’s Hospice this week. For the occasion we have put together a PowerPoint (well technically a Keynote) presentation.
In the past I have endured some horrific presentations therefore I hope we have got the balance between content and composition correct. It also got me thinking about what alternative tools are out there that can be used for the same purpose. I had a look and came across Prezi.
I was really excited by the potential of Prezi which offers an online system for creating ‘zooming presentations’ – see this example about the pedagogy of blogging. It enables to create presentations that are visualising interesting but also seem to be very conducive to showing relationships and flows of data or ideas.
Hopefully our more traditional presentation will work this time, however Prezi is certainly a tool I will consider using in the future.

Prezi is beautiful, I voted them the winner at NextWeb last year in Startup Rally, a great bunch and the only tool Ive ever paid for. Once you get used to it, it just flows naturally not something you want to use until used to all the features and how it flows…but great for making an impact, definitely.

Yes it looks like something I would want to study to make sure I used it in the ‘right’ way. One for when a have a spare few hours… though not sure that’s going to be any time soon!!!
