What is Prezi?

Hi, everyone! I want to share with you another application that we can use to prepare a presentation. It is called "Prezi". "Prezi (or Prezi.com) was created by the support of Kitchen Budapest and Magyar Telekom in 2008 in order to replace the ordinary slide based presentations. Today the project is assisted by Sunstone Capital. The actual development was done by Lui Labs led by its three Hungarian founders Péter Árvai, Szabolcs Somlai-Fischer and Péter Halácsy. The word prezi is the Hungarian short form of presentation."

Power Point Presentations

Today I am going to talk about a basic but a powerful tool used to prepare presentations. Power Point is considered to be the most useful and approachable way to create and present visual aids in colorful and attractive designs. It is an easy tool, accessible to everyone but we should be careful, the wrong use of it could make our final work look boring or unintelligible. There are some advantages and disadvantages that we should bear in mind before creating a presentation. For example, the duration it will have, the contents to be introduced. All these forces the presenter to reduce complex subjects. Also there is a basic equipment required to give a presentation, a computer and a projector.

Watch the following video and you will learn more about Power Point Presentations, it gives you some tips about how to use it in the best way:
