Prezi session at #scio11

Here are my quick notes of Prezi... I'm giving it a try right now. If you are an educator, make sure you sign up for the educational account.

• Overlap elements when you give a prezi
• Don’t spin too much – don’t make your audience sea sick.
• No way to embed a prezi within another prezi.
• They have a good “learn” system and tips.
• Prezi meeting can hold up to 10 people who can work on the same presentation.
• For a good prezi, one should think in frames with multiple objects, not linear slides.
• Instead of having to go forwards or go backwards to a specific slide, you just pull back, and then you can go wherever you want.
• Think of prezi more like a concept map or a mind map – not just linear thinking.
• Make the details small.
• It has circle, square, and rectangle frames. Frames within frames, use as many frames as you need.
• Take a look at some of her examples. Here is a group made one.
  
• Make your CV as a prezi. Huh, that sounds like a good idea
• Easier to get small than to get bigger. Start big, then scale down when you need to.
• Use PDFs.
  
• Use higher image quality in the upload. Zooming in will be granulated otherwise.
• OverLAP, Shift DRAG, SURPRISE your audience.
• It doesn't seem like prezis can be embedded into a blog, though.
