Zoom In & Zoom Out with Prezi!

Prezi

What's great about Prezi??
  • With Prezi you are able to zoom in and zoom out to point out and emphasize your ideas!
  • In the classroom, students can collaborate and work with each together. This feature allows students to edit and work on their Prezi in different locations
  • Prezi allows you to easily upload videos from Youtube and images from Google or they can be uploaded from your PC!
  • You can also add PowerPoint presentations!
  • One does not necessarily need internet connection to present their Prezi
    • You can download your Prezi onto your PC, open it and present it offline!
  • You can add a story line to your Prezi by creating a journey through your slides to create eye-catching effects! 
  • You are provided with a white canvas to begin your presentation
  • You may be wondering what the blue circles are on the top left-hand corner??
    • Well, that is called the Bubble Menu which is the tool that helps you create your presentation!
    • You can control the way your Prezi looks by changing color font, frames, adding images, videos, and much more
    • Zoom in and zoom out using the buttons on the right hand side

This is a Prezi I created for a religion course I am currently taking this semester. 
I had a great time creating this Prezi and even though it was rather time consuming, I learned about how to use the Bubble Menu and the different effects to make the presentation stand out! Check it out!
