My christmas 'prezi' has come early

I want to shout it from the rooftops, PREZI! An online site that is and will make my like ten times easier (and let's be honest- more interesting).

At first glance, Prezi looks daunting and complicated. But closer inspection reveals that Prezi is something of a revelation, a user-friendly creative outlet for those of us whose subject matter maybe mundane to say the least.

In comparison to PowerPoint, Prezi is unparalleled; it displays information not as a series of slides, but as one large board that zooms in on specific information or images, and zooms out- kind of like a mind map. So while Prezi Pro doesn’t offer features like slide transitions or animations, it does offer a better more enhanced visual experience for the viewer.

With Prezi, a presentation is created as a whole board. You lay out the information and visual aids however you like, then you create a “path” to follow. It is a presentation that starts with one bit of information, zooms out, pans to another bit of information etc. Certainly an interesting alternative to typical slideshow presentation.

You can even add photos, create shapes and embed YouTube videos into the presentation. The final product, a presentation that looks like it has been done by some fancy graphic designer- not by a mediocre computer user with the capabilities similar to that of an average ten year old in today’s standards.

Prezi is a god send, and although it can sometimes be a little fiddly, it is simple enough. My only gripe? Why couldn’t this have come along 3 years ago- like when I was STARTING my degree not when I’m eight weeks out from ending my degree.
