Not only was this the first presentation that I created using prezi it was the first time I had ever heard of it. There are definitely differences that the typical powerpoint. The ability to add audio and video is not easy and if possible prezi is not compatible with many file types. All in all it was a unique experience.
See the following "hotkey changes"
1. Pressing SPACEBAR serves as a toggle between Show and Edit mode. If you are in a sub-menu, pressing SPACEBAR takes you back to the main Bubble menu.
2. Pressing and holding SPACEBAR will take you temporarily to Show mode. While there, you can navigate or click with the mouse, or use the LEFT/RIGHT arrows to move back and forth in the path the path. When you release SPACEBAR, you get back to Edit mode.
3. ESC serves to remove fullscreen, if applicable.
4. In Show mode the LEFT and RIGHT keys will move you on the path backward and forward respectively. UP and DOWN keys will zoom in and out. Zooming out with the DOWN arrow works as Smart Zoom: it brings you up to the next largest enclosing or crossing frame object.
5. There are new shortcuts for some of the menu functions. The Frames menu can be reached by pressing ‘F’. Pressing ‘S’ takes you to Shapes menu. Loading a file is possible by pressing ‘L’ and Path menu can be reached by pressing ‘P’.
6. You can use CTRL+D for duplicating an object, and you can use CTRL+Z, CTRL+Y and CTRL+S for Undo, Redo, Save respectively.

Glad you were experimenting with Prezi. They said you could learn it in four minututes - I don't think so! Your blog looks great! Jackie Campbell
ReplyDeleteStephanie,
ReplyDeleteI am glad to hear your feedback on Prezi. I checked it out, and watched the video demo. I think with so many of these programs, there is a significant learning curve. The problem with the "significant learning curve" is that I have computer experience. When I've had a lot of problems with some of these sites for this class, I often wonder how people are doing it when they don't have very much computer experience.
Do you like your product?

This course is my first introduction to Prezi as well. I have not experimented with it yet and plan to tonight. Your feedback on it will definitely be helpful. Thanks!
