When your Prezi opens, it will look like this. The Wheel in the upper left corner is the controller for what you want to do in Prezi. By default, it is set to “Write.” To write something, double click anywhere on the background, and a text box will appear. Type what you want inside the box. To insert a file or a shape, click on the circle in the Wheel named “Insert.” Then choose “load file” if you want to add a file from your computer. To add a simple shape, click on “shapes” To place a frame around an object or text, click on “frame” in the Wheel. Select how you want to frame the item, then drag and drop a frame around the item. To return to “Write,” click in the solid color corner of the screen.

Showtime!! You’ve created items and established an order path. It’s time to see your Prezi in action. In the Wheel, click on the grey “Show” circle, then click “Full Screen.” In the lower right corner of the screen, you’ll find a set of navigation tools.
• The two-‐headed arrow icon launches into or returns from full screen. • The single left-‐pointing arrow is the “back” button (click and hold to get a “return to beginning”
icon). • The larger single right-‐pointing arrow is the “next” button. (click and hold to get options for
auto advancing in 4, 10, or 20 second increments). To return to the editing screen, move your mouse to the upper left corner. When the Wheel appears, click the solid color corner. Saving is AUTOMATIC Just so you know, Prezi auto-‐saves so you don’t have to. To save it yourself, place your mouse over “Saved at XX:XX” in the upper right corner of the editing screen and click on “Save Now.”
