Introduction Prezi Presentation on Volume

Burns Prezi on Volume

Prezi is very intriguing presentation tool. Prezi is similar to PowerPoint by Microsoft except Prezi is more interactive. One can argue this because if you know how to use PowerPoint, then you can make it do many interactions. Prezi is unique because it zooms in and out of different components of your presentation. Furthermore, you can zoom in after you have already zoomed in. You will have to become familiar with Prezi in order for you to understand what I'm saying. Lastly, Prezi has some similar animations to PowerPoint, such as the fading effect.

The Prezi Presentation I created is to give students a introduction to new material. The subject matter in this Prezi is about volume of various 3-dimensional figures like cone, cylinder, and sphere. Inside the Prezi I have included the formulas, real-life examples, and a graphic representation to keep viewers on track with everything. I use arrows to make the connections like volume to sphere to a picture of the earth. Lastly, I like how easy this will be for students to navigate. It is as simple as clicking the mouse and scrolling through the slides.

My feelings about Prezi went from bad to good throughout my experience and discovery of the presentation tool. Throughout the creation of my Prezi, I felt as if I was disorganized. As is I couldn't keep track of my images and text. I needed to constantly zoom in and out to keep track of my work. Since this was my first time using Prezi, I knew I needed to give it another shot and work on it. I felt a lot better after I did another one for the course. After I compared the two, I knew that my first time was a trial and error instance and that I had become more comfortable with the tool. In my opinion, my first Prezi is disgustingly disorganized (if that is a correct combination of words). My second Prezi is a lot better and I feel like it is a quality piece of work. In the end, I will use this tool a lot more because I feel it is easier to create then a PowerPoint and it is more engaging for students.
