Good Bye powerpoint, hello prezi. 7 ideas on how to use prezi


So i been playing with prezi, for the last few weeks and i can say with absolute certainty, it is by far the best presentation tool i have used.

Good Bye Powerpoint!

What is prezi?

Prezi, is a new way to do presentations. Instead of a slide based linear structure, with prezi you are give a single big canvas. You add elements to the canvas and then zoom in on areas. To be fair, prezi was not the first to come up with the concept Microsoft released a plug-in for powerpoint that did something similar a while back but prezi is by far the easiest way i have seen to create presentations like this.

Some ideas for how prezi could be used!

- Presentations (yeah really)
- Creating an engaging online CV that tells a story
- Presenting learning material
- Explaining your business/services/methodology to potential clients
- An online portfolio of your designs/projects
- Live capturing proceedings at meetings/events/conferences
- Creating story boards for websites

Example of using prezi for a CV, i am still working on this and will post a link once i am done.

  1. Some good ideas there Ismail.
    I think it could also be used for explaining a business model/strategy [although that technically fits into presentations, but is also for distribution like your CV] :)

  2. yep, business strategy would be ideally suited for this rather then powerpoint!

  3. It better be a good tool. Peter (CEO) worked really hard on this product. He is trying to get it out here in South Africa.
    Anybody interested in purchasing or being a sales consultant?
    Let me know…

    Keep well!

  4. ideas for using in education? particularly 2nd language education?
