1 Tired of Powerpoint? Alternative, Free Online Presentation Tools This demonstration will introduce you to a variety of free online presentation tools you (and your students!) can use to create dynamic and fun presentations. Tools introduced here: ª Prezi: ª Easel.ly: ª Mixbook: ª ISSUU: Lauren H. Mandel, PhD General things to keep in mind Nothing makes up for a poorly organized presentation or a boring one o You can t expect a tool to save you from yourself o Truthfully, there is nothing wrong with PowerPoint, if used effectively o Too much text is a problem, not matter what tool you use o Reading the text off the slides will be boring for your students, even in a Prezi or other digital tool But using digital tools can o Add variation to your presentations, lectures, etc. o Add interest among your students à they can grow curious about what you re doing o Give you back your enthusiasm for creating lessons o Give your students ideas for their own presentations so you don t have to watch 30 back- to- back PowerPoint presentations This is an introduction to only four free digital tools. There are TONS of other tools o Presentations: o Infographics: SlideRocket Vizualize.me Animoto Piktochart Narrable Visual.ly Glogster icharts Xtranormal Dipity 280Slides o Word clouds: Google Docs Tagxedo Zoho Show Wordle Be patient with yourself when experimenting with new tools It s all about being creative and having fun with presentations and your classes

2 KEY POINTS ABOUT THE TOOLS PREZI Mixbook Free, online account à with URI , can Free, online account register for a free Enjoy EDU account with 500 Create digital scrapbooks MB storage and ability to keep presentations private Can upload an existing PowerPoint, then View the tutorials: ditor/ reformat and reorder slides into frames Main difference from PowerPoint: This is about putting your presentation content into a scrapbook format, organizing the material into a pamphlet- style presentation and using the scrapbook meme to relate to students View the Getting Started tutorial: Main differences from PowerPoint o Slides (PPt) vs. frames (Prezi): frames can be bracket, circle, rectangle, or invisible and go in more of an outline order along the path o In Prezi, transitions between frames simulate flying and other motions vs. varied PPt slide transitions o Limitations on formatting in Prezi Easel.ly ISSUU Free, online account Create a book out of any PDF o Can do a PDF of PowerPoint slide, Word document, any PDF o Create a magazine, booklet, tabloid newspaper, etc. o I have started using for my syllabi Free, online account View the tutorials: Create infographics (could use the tool to create any kind of one- page handout, poster, etc.) View the Getting Started tutorial: Main difference from PowerPoint: This is about summing up your presentation to a one page infographic, poster, flyer, or handout Main difference from PowerPoint: This is about putting your presentation content into a book format with pages that turn just like a magazine, organizing material into a magazine- style presentation, and using the e- zine meme to relate to students USING TOOLS WITH SAKAI Usually can embed directly into Lessons or Modules or Syllabus o Once presentation complete, go to Share or View and select Embed option à Copy the entire code o In Sakai, under Edit for either Lessons or Module or Syllabus, go to the Source Will see HTML code for the page you re working on Paste the embed code wherever you want the Prezi to appear on the page If you aren t sure how to read the HTML code to know where to paste Before going to Source, type the last line of text that will appear above the Prezi and do not type anything else Then go to Source and paste the embed code at the bottom on a new blank line Or can paste the URL and let students link to the presentation at the home website o Once presentation complete, go to Share or View and select Link or View on Web option à Copy the entire code o In Sakai, under Edit for either Lessons or Module or Syllabus Highlight the text you want to link (such as, the lecture is here ) Select the Link button (globe with chains) Paste the URL into the URL field like any other URL

3 PREZI Free, online account à with URI , can register for a free Enjoy EDU account with 500 MB storage and ability to keep presentations private Can upload an existing PowerPoint, then reformat and reorder slides into frames View the Getting Started tutorial: v Main differences from PowerPoint Slides (PPt) vs. frames (Prezi) o Slides are all standard shape (rectangular) and go in sequential (linear) arrangement o Frames can be bracket, circle, rectangle, or invisible and go in more of an outline order along the path, such as Start with frame A with three offshoots, Then go to frame B with two offshoots, Etc. o Frames can be rotated, so a presentation could go around a circle or other non- linear path Transition between slides/frames o In PPt, you can use slide transitions or not, and there are many options for the transition, with different degrees of subtlety o In Prezi, transitions between frames simulate flying and other motions Flying from one to another Zooming in and out Be aware that this can cause motion sickness Degree of customization of text and graphics o Higher degree of customization in PPt o Limitations on formatting in Prezi: No bold, italic, or underline for text Workaround I use for Reference Lists: type it up in Word, save as a PDF, import the PDF, crop to the appropriate area, then paste that in the corner or the last slide Could do this for titles or any other text Colors are limited (for text and icons/graphics), but really how many colors do you need? All portions of the same text element must have the same format Can t highlight one portion and change the font, color, size This means you need a separate text element to do different levels of bullets, different sizes of text, different fonts, etc. v Using Prezi in Sakai Can embed directly into Lessons or Modules o Once Prezi complete, go to Share and select Embed option à Copy the entire code o In Sakai, under Edit for either Lessons or Module, go to the Source Will see HTML code for the page you re working on Paste the embed code wherever you want the Prezi to appear on the page If you aren t sure how to read the HTML code to know where to paste Before going to Source, type the last line of text that will appear above the Prezi and do not type anything else Then go to Source and paste the embed code at the bottom on a new blank line Or can paste the URL and let students link to the presentation at the Prezi website o Once Prezi complete, go to Share and select View option à Copy the entire code o In Sakai, under Edit for either Lessons or Module Highlight the text you want to link (such as, the lecture is here ) Select the Link button (globe with chains)

4 Paste the URL into the URL field like any other URL v Two main options: 1. Use a Prezi template: LSC517: What is Community? Lots of customization options o Add, reorder, change shape of frames o Add graphics (image from file, symbol or shape from Prezi), audio (background music or voiceover), video (YouTube) o Can add an image, draw an invisible frame around it, then use the image as the frame Benefits of the template o Pre- existing path: not starting from scratch, but can still modify the path o Background images and frames that come with template o Can customize as needed 2. Create a presentation from scratch: The Library in the Community Begin with a blank grid Add all your own frames, could be with your own background image or selection of images Edit your path as you go or at the end after all frames created
