CyberWise Guide to Prezi Video Transcript
So what is Prezi
Itrsquos an intuitive presentation and storytelling tool
When we hear the words presentation tool we immediately think of PowerPoint But before there was PowerPoint people used overhead projectors and slides to tell their stories
Then Microsoft came along and developed slideware called Power-Point
And even though PowerPoint wasnrsquot designed for education Teachers and students use it Despite its rigid single path structure breaks up narratives into minimal fragments or slides that make it difficult to un-derstand context Turning everything into a bullet point Or a simplis-tic graph (Tufte 2007)
Seems like this might not be the best presentation tool for school Be-cause the thing ishellip Kids donrsquot really think linearly They think more like this
So instead of using software based on yesterdayrsquos technology Why not use a tool that matches their amazing brains
hellipand that can stand up to all that other media that competes for their attention every day So herersquos an alternativehellip
Prezi is a presentation tool that ditches slides in favor of a story-board format
Plus itrsquos free and easy to use (Yes I said free)
The theory behind Prezi is that since our ideas are not linear but rather bundles of interconnected concepts they are better captured as a whole with many parts
So with Prezi you can display your ideas on a single canvas starting with a big idea and filling in with related topics Then you can size and organize your con-tent on the canvas making con-nections more visually explicit than they might be in a standard slideshow presentation
The Prezi canvas also allows you to display visual imagery to help tell your story Because we live in a visually rich multi-media cul-ture photos images illustrations and video are integral elements of a Prezi in contrast to the often text-heavy outline-based methodol-ogy of most presentation software

Best of all because Prezi tosses out slides in favor of a single canvas creators are encouraged to think in terms of groupings and hierarchies
So your presentation becomes a visual [concept] map allowing you to move through the content in a way that best tells your story And be-cause of the relational nature of the elements in the Prezi grouped by category and assigned larger (or smaller) sizes as necessary for the logic of the content presentations appear to audiences as more comprehensi-ble and visually interesting
Prezi lets you see the big picture and then zoom in to discover the de-tails Even the fine print Or you can take a step back to discover the big picture
Because sometimes you just really need to turn Learning upside down to see it in a new light And to remind ourselves that learners acquire knowledge in two ways linguistically by reading or hearing lectures and non-linguistically through visual imagery like this
Fortunately technology like Prezi is helping us to expand beyond linear text-based learning and to engage students who learn best in other ways

CyberWise Guide to Prezi Video Transcript
So what is Prezi
Itrsquos an intuitive presentation and storytelling tool
When we hear the words presentation tool we immediately think of PowerPoint But before there was PowerPoint people used overhead projectors and slides to tell their stories
Then Microsoft came along and developed slideware called Power-Point
And even though PowerPoint wasnrsquot designed for education Teachers and students use it Despite its rigid single path structure breaks up narratives into minimal fragments or slides that make it difficult to un-derstand context Turning everything into a bullet point Or a simplis-tic graph (Tufte 2007)
Seems like this might not be the best presentation tool for school Be-cause the thing ishellip Kids donrsquot really think linearly They think more like this
So instead of using software based on yesterdayrsquos technology Why not use a tool that matches their amazing brains
hellipand that can stand up to all that other media that competes for their attention every day So herersquos an alternativehellip
Prezi is a presentation tool that ditches slides in favor of a story-board format
Plus itrsquos free and easy to use (Yes I said free)
The theory behind Prezi is that since our ideas are not linear but rather bundles of interconnected concepts they are better captured as a whole with many parts
So with Prezi you can display your ideas on a single canvas starting with a big idea and filling in with related topics Then you can size and organize your con-tent on the canvas making con-nections more visually explicit than they might be in a standard slideshow presentation
The Prezi canvas also allows you to display visual imagery to help tell your story Because we live in a visually rich multi-media cul-ture photos images illustrations and video are integral elements of a Prezi in contrast to the often text-heavy outline-based methodol-ogy of most presentation software

Best of all because Prezi tosses out slides in favor of a single canvas creators are encouraged to think in terms of groupings and hierarchies
So your presentation becomes a visual [concept] map allowing you to move through the content in a way that best tells your story And be-cause of the relational nature of the elements in the Prezi grouped by category and assigned larger (or smaller) sizes as necessary for the logic of the content presentations appear to audiences as more comprehensi-ble and visually interesting
Prezi lets you see the big picture and then zoom in to discover the de-tails Even the fine print Or you can take a step back to discover the big picture
Because sometimes you just really need to turn Learning upside down to see it in a new light And to remind ourselves that learners acquire knowledge in two ways linguistically by reading or hearing lectures and non-linguistically through visual imagery like this
Fortunately technology like Prezi is helping us to expand beyond linear text-based learning and to engage students who learn best in other ways
