I very much enjoyed my time working with Prezi. Not only was
I impressed by its sleek presentation, but I was particularly taken aback by
its functionality. This isn’t to say that I was expecting Prezi to be
inaccessible or difficult to use, because I wasn’t. However, I also wasn’t
expecting Prezi to completely trump every other major ‘presentation’ software
that I’ve ever used–Powerpoint, Google Tools, etc.
By far my favorite thing about Prezi was the way that it
allowed my group and I to work on our presentation simultaneously. Seeing my
partners Jenny and Sue tinkering with various aspects of the presentation as I
myself worked on it at the same time was incredibly cool, and made
communicating with them about specific choices very easy.
I will say this against
Prezi: it’s a lot of fun, both to work with and to watch presentations created
with it. However, as much as I liked the ‘road mural’-structure of our presentation,
I’m not sure how much I would be able to use it in, say, a corporate setting,
as opposed to a school setting, where the flashy colors and cute graphics would
enhance the viewer’s enjoyment of the presentation’s information, as opposed to
distracting from it, as they might in a corporate setting.
