Presentation Tools

For my PWS multimedia presentation, I think I will just use Prezi. I want to be able to pan and zoom, so I might end up making a presentation with pictures I take that tell a story. I was thinking I wanted to make a full-fledged video, but I think that is our next unit assignment with the narration tools. I really like that Prezi has the ability to add a storyline, so I can make my slides flow and transition to present my PWS.

However, I see now that Prezi can also upload videos. Since we haven't talked about our next few assignments in terms of what exactly we will be doing with our PWS, I'm not sure if now is the right time to incorporate moving video or not. I hope to be able to play with that tool and potentially use it, or put it off for the next unit. Either way, I think that Prezi has plenty of tools and resources that I can use to effectively communicate my PWS.

When I registered with Prezi, I noticed a few of my friends who work in the professional world that use this application connected with Facebook. I worked with some of them this summer and trust that they would not be using it if it were not incredibly useful.

The only thing I don't really like about this presentation tool is that it moves slide-by-slide, and I would like something to run straight through. Also, I didn't like that it wants me to choose a template because I would like to make up my own presentation, which I figured out I could do anyway. I think this will be a fun learning experience. Even if I don't like this particular tool for my present purpose, it should prove useful in the future.
