Photo Story Presentation

New Account

Today in class we set up a new account for another online presentation tool called Prezi. The idea is to get out of the past and use the new availible tools to create presentations. Prezi is a presentation tool that uses a map type layout and zooming to navigate through the presentation, and you moves from each point to the next. You can rotate you text, make it bigger, and move it to where you desire. Also you can insert pics and many other things.
