1: Set up an account

Go to: http://prezi.com/

Those with .ac.uk accounts can get educational accounts.

For YouTube videos, add the URL... autoconverts to video & autoplays as path feeds into it.

Insert images from the hard drive

  • Optimise images to maximise hard drive space

Shapes

  • Straightline arrow
  • Freehand highlighter & "pen", uses theme colours

Frame

  • Ends
  • Circle
  • Filled Square
  • Hidden frame

this will change your Prezi experience!

Path

  • Add linearity (can break out of it)
  • Capture View (adds invisible frame in size of screen
  • Delete all (deletes entire path)
  • Use small in-between button to add an extra path point, and drag number off the screen to remove a path point

Colors

  • Adds themes to material (limited to visible choices, can't be edited)

Downloads as a Zip File

  • Extract
  • Run Prezi Application (let it extract)
  • Click on Flash 'Prezi', file opens
  • Use as if online (full screen!)

1. Structure 1st, Details afterwards

Envisage the 'top-down' overview & create on paper

2. Make sections bigger than you think you need them to be (zooming will fill the screen), to avoid the 'crammed' effect for extra material

3. Choose an appropriate theme early & stick to it (changing can resize the shapes)

4. Prezi can make people feel motion-sick, so think carefully about changes of direction. Group material carefully

5. Just because a function is available don't think you have to use it. Let it serve a function.

6. Use the zooming functions to emphasise scale, and hide material as a surprise.

7. To achieve uniformity of style use duplicate then edit

8. Avoid tiny pictures - JPEGs can look fuzzy. PDFs are recommended

So.... what have you produced today?

Let's see some....
