Prezi

Prezi is a presentation tool that can be used as an alternative for making slide such as PowerPoint. But, the difference among Prezi and PowerPoint is Prezi uses one large canvas for the slides. Then, the presentation will zoom along a path to various parts of the canvas, and emphasizes the ideas presented there. Prezi uses the big picture of things to help focus the presentation and captivate your audience. Prezi presentations feature a map-like overview that lets users pan between topics, zoom in on details, and pull back to reveal context. Texts, images, videos and sounds also can be added into the Prezi for the presentation and it provides a collection of attractive styles and types of templates to be choose by the users.
