Angie, imagine how useful this could be for a health educator! l believe we will not drop this widget ever again but we'll continue to improve on it so that as mentioned in Prezi website, we'll be able to emphasize our points using different font sizes and varied colors. Way to go, girl.
I'm of two minds about the Prezi. I appreciate the functionality of it, for example, the way specific points can be emphasized and the way information can be organized in frames. However, I think that prezi design planning is essential to prevent too much transitioning (makes me a bit seasick)! :-)
I ask because it seems that you may have run into one of the problems that I did when I converted one of my PPTs to Prezi.
What I think happens is that Prezi puts the PPT slides into one frame, but doesn't zoom in on the info. I know that you can nest frames in Prezi, but I just ended up pulling them out to make individual frames.
This allowed me to better control how the info was presented.
Yes, I did convert it from PPT. It took me a while to get the frames and content into an acceptable format. Using individual frames does make the presentation easier to control, but I wanted to group related information, and to minimize the number of transitions. I'll bet that you can nest frames in Prezi and still zoom in on the info, but I need to practice a lot more to learn how to do it.
I like Prezi. I like how the topic and slides transition. Since I would like to try this out this summer I appreciate your suggestions you added in your post. It all seems to be about planning and design. Consistent theme and great colors- I think your blog looks great.

ReplyDeleteGreat tool! I appreciate the decrease in number of transitions because I also get a little seasick with prezi
