Making presentations - Prezi and Keynote

In my opinion, the two best options for making a presentation are the Prezi website, and Keynote on iPads. They are both very user friendly, easy to learn, and look great. I think they're both a huge improvement on Powerpoint, which has a huge set of dropdown menus and several ways to do everything.

To use Prezi with your class, you'll need to set up an account for them to use, which will need an email address. I make a new gmail account whenever I do this, which takes a couple of minutes to do. I then use this email address to set up the Prezi account. Make sure you use a different password for Prezi and the gmail account. You should share the email address and Prezi password so that your pupils can log in to Prezi, but they should not have access to the gmail password.

Prezi is a huge page on which you put text, pictures and video, and then the screen will zoom into each section in whatever order you wish. This video shows how it's done:


Keynote is similar to Powerpoint, in that you have a series of slides. It's much simpler and looks better than Powerpoint though (again this is my personal opinion!). The video below shows how to make a Keynote presentation:
