...for Presentations
> I am a HUGE FAN of PREZI - and I am sick to death of PowerPoint. The downsides are that Prezi is time consuming and cannot be printed off in the notes or outline form. The upside is that, on that rare occassion when you have to "knock their socks off," Prezi does the trick. Also, it's free to students of Ferris probably teachers as well. > GENERAL WEBSITE: [] > ONE OF MY PREZIS: [] >> NOTES: On the bottom right, you can make it FULL SCREEN, which is a vast improvement, and to move through the presentation, you click on the right facing arrow at the bottom middle. There is also a tutorial for how to make your own on the main site that takes only two or three minutes to watch and explains everything. SUPER EASY!
