Cool Tool for School

In Top 100 Tools 2011, the #7 best tool of the year was Prezi. This interactive website helps you create "powerpoint-like" presentations to make teaching and learning more entertaining for both the teacher and students.

Here is how you create a Prezi presentation:
1. Make a Prezi account
2. Choose the template that you would prefer depending on what you are going to use the presentation to teach.
Example: You could use the strategy template, which is the one I chose in this instance, to explain your goals, visions and risks for a certain task.


3. Look at the specific topics in your presentation and edit them.
Example: List the goals that you have for this project/task.

You can do this by zooming in on the particular "bubbles"/sections and editing the content within them.
4. Connect all of the bubbles/sections together to help them flow in the way that you want to present them. Prezi will then create a presentation that moves from one section to the other for you.


Hint = You can also go from one portion of the "bubble" to another portion of that same "bubble". I did this in the presentation that I will be attaching.

5. Finish your project. Save and Download it if needed.
6. Present

Now that you know how to make a Prezi presentation, feel free to view my Prezi presentation so that you can learn why Prezi is a great tool to use in the classroom.
