Review of Presentation Tool


I believe that there are various presentation tools, however, Prezi is one of great tools to make your presentation. I am sure most of the people are more familiar with the Microsoft-PowerPoint to use as a presentation tool, even myself, I only used the PowerPoint in my school years because everyone around me used PowerPoint to make a presentation. However, I believe that once you start using Prezi, you would love its features and simplicity which can help you making a presentation in an easier way. 

My experience as an example, it was my first time using and exploring the Prezi in class. I believe most of us don't like a tool that is complicated because it is hard to learn and use, however, my first impression of the Prezi was that it is very simple and provide catchy features which caught my eyes visually as a beginner of using this tool. Once I started to create my Prezi for the very first time, I quickly realized that Prezi is a very easy and useful tool to make a presentation, and it is very attractive how I can zoom-in and out to present things in an attractive way. The another great quality of Prezi is that there are various designs of templets by a category which you can choose based on the content you want to present; The link below is to show you an example of how I chose my templet as my journey. I chose the cardinal points-background to show where I visited.

However, Prezi could be inconvenient in some ways. Here, I would like to compare Prezi with the universal tool PowerPoint. As we all understand that PowerPoint can be used in anywhere without internet connection, the internet should be connected to get on the Prezi which means that you can't use it in anytime, at anywhere. Also unlike how PowerPoint provides a lot of functions in figures, shapes and fonts, Prezi has a short history and its functions are not diversity. Though it takes center stage as the great presentation tool for audiences' attention, it is not an useful tool to print out your presentation material as documentation. 

Overall, myself is very happy that I could learn about Prezi and I like how I came up to understand a presentation tool this quickly and easily not as a mechanical person. I believe that Prezi can be one of the greatest tools for presenting one's message, especially for storytelling, and it could be the best way to attract audiences by zooming in and out. We can clearly express and deliver our stories and contents through its connectivity. Also, we can present things more visually from now and engage people to participate in the presentation. I would definitely recommend it to people around me because I am sure they would fall in love with this useful tool just like me.
