Web 2.0

Prior to this week's application (2) assignment, I knew little regarding presentation tools outside of PowerPoint.  Now, do not get me wrong, PP is a great tool, but as I discovered this week, there are so many bigger and better tools out there!  This week I dabbled with Prezi and stopped right there.  I know that we were supposed to play around with a few other presentation models, but I absolutely loved how Prezi worked.  Not only is it easy to created text, images, and presentation flow, but it had a variety of models and templates from which to work from as well.  I have never worked with a presentation model like this one where individual "slides" can be panned in on at different angles, speeds, and sizes, so this was great!

The toolbar is not a typical "across the top" one, but is instead more modern looking and has many drop down sub-menus that allow one to investigate, crop, edit, and move various items in the presentation.  I find that becoming an expert at this presentation model will be challenging, but not as difficult as I had originally foreseen!

  2. Jordan,
    I must admit I was a bit intimidated by Prezi, how much time have you spent trying to learn how to use it? Once you are familar with the tools is it easy to navigate?
