[Prezi] Review

by [Allison Miller]

Description

Prezi is a cloud-based presentation software that opens up a new world between whiteboards and slides. The zoomable canvas can be used to further emphasis a point or bring attention to different area of the slide. It is a more advanced and seamless version of PowerPoint, used to lessen time and unwanted clicking in presentations.

What the Tool Does Well

-    Cloud storage makes access to your work easy, wherever you are.

-     Able to present from desktop, ipad, or iphone

-     Collaboration for up to 10 people on one presentation

-     Can present live online (with those who have the link)

-     Licenses available to protect your work

-     Can save work on desk top as opposed to cloud storage

-     Allows for 30 day trail (in enjoy/pro)

What it Does Poorly

-    Have to pay to keep your work private

-     Network can be can be SLOW

-     Can only work offline with Pro account

-     Limited storage space

-     Limited amount of collaborative members (10)

-     Limited amount of “real time viewers” online (30)

-     Users cannot follow a live presentation from iphone or ipad

What happens when you...

Prezi’s have become popular multimedia resumes (Prezumes).
