What is Prezi?

Prezi’s advantage over static slides is that its interactive, zoomable canvas shows the relationship between the big picture and the fine details. The vendor’s value proposition is that this puts ideas in context, and makes them more likely to resonate, motivate, and be remembered.

Prezi is the best option for presentations

Pros

  • Prezi is an excellent, accessible, intuitive, dynamic interaction program.
  • Prezi video is a wonderful tool because you can use content, drawings, music, and various other ideas while you speak.
  • It can be connected through LinkedIn or Facebook; I choose Facebook because it brings me the version already in Portuguese

Cons

  • The disadvantage of Prezi compared to PowerPoint is that it can only be downloaded on a notebook with 4 gigabytes of RAM; this is a technical problem that sometimes leads to other presentation choices.
  • The ghost effect with improper use of zoom, blurred images; double attention is needed with this layering effect.

Most Important Features

  • The interaction of Prezi Video with your on-screen content is amazing; I love using it
  • It is modern, different, easy to use, and fascinates those who are watching
  • Tutorials that allow anyone to operate it

Return on Investment

  • Motivating classes, delighting the audience that finds presentations boring
  • Works without connecting to the internet
  • It is necessary to check equipment configurations in advance

Pros

  • It can be adapted to different scenarios since it allows formal presentations. It makes more dynamic presentations and can even be used to gamify learning.
  • It is highly modifiable since it allows you to adapt the default templates, create your own templates. You can even convert your ppt to Prezi format to later make them more entertaining.
  • It is easy to use, at least in the most basic way, since if you want to do something basic you don't require any special skills to be able to do it without problems.

Cons

  • An option that automatically assigns the font size to make sure it's not too small.
  • A predetermined minimum size of the objects, since sometimes you can accidentally make it so small that later it cannot be used or seen correctly.
  • To the free versions, offline use of Prezi and export to PDF would be great. Many times they ask for presentations and they cannot be shared digitally (not everyone has an account) or in physical format (paper).

Return on Investment

  • It allows me to create more dynamic and entertaining content to work with patients. With this, I have achieved a better disposition of them to carry out cognitive activities that are more difficult for them.
  • In work meetings, it allows me to make my weekly reports in a professional and orderly manner. With the same tool, I can show some activities that take place during my sessions.

Pros

  • Transforms boring ppt style presentations into more dynamic and entertaining presentations by adding movements between objects, by being able to zoom, or rotate the screen. It is especially useful to me when we are studying the solar system.
  • Another very good thing is that you can convert your ppt to Prezi format with just a few clicks, giving life to the presentations.
  • Prezi also gives you the possibility of using a free account (with certain restrictions) which is very good, especially if you are a student since it allows you to have the experience of creating a fun presentation easily and without spending your money.
  • Allows you to save and share your presentations quite easily and quickly.

Cons

  • I think it would be a good idea to let the free versions also download your Prezi presentations, perhaps adding a watermark or something similar.
  • In the beginning, getting used to the margins and sizes of the elements is a bit complicated, so perhaps it would be convenient to add a kind of help or tool that could self-correct the sizes and locations in case there is a possible problem with these (especially with the sizes if you make them too small).

Return on Investment

  • It has allowed me to take more entertaining and dynamic courses.
  • It has encouraged me to be more detailed and enthusiastic in my teaching work, by spending more time preparing Prezi material.
  • My students are more enthusiastic about prezi presentations themselves
  • It has improved the attention and participation of the students since I have been able to make some presentations with a game style.
