We’re back to looking at tools in thing 17 – this time using
presentation tools.
Prezi
I have used Prezi for a while now, Dec 2011 according to my
account. I have seen some really great prezis but I’m afraid that my offerings
don’t fall into that category. It can be pretty time consuming but gradually
over time you learn about the different options and functionality. My first
offering was about my job role and my latest is an interactive map of ourlibrary floor plan – including images and videos. It can be quite
stomach-churning, but then we are a circular library and wandering around in
real-life can make you dizzy too. I’ve now embedded this into our website. I
have a couple more in development.
I think prezis offer something a bit more fun than
powerpoints, though powerpoint can also be quite interactive and use multimedia;
it also requires a lot of work to get something effective.
Slideshare
I’m familiar with Slideshare as a consumer. I often check
out other people’s presentations. However I’ve not shared anything myself. It
is not currently part of my role to create presentations and deliver talks. I
did create a powerpoint presentation to promote our etutorials but decided to
convert this to a video and share it via YouTube rather than use Slideshare.
Summary
Both these tools offer a good way to share your
presentations.
