Want to make your presentations more exciting, or just looking for an alternative to PowerPoint? Prezi is an online tool that allows you to create a different kind of presentation.

With Prezi you can create a presentation on a big canvas with text, images, and videos embedded where you want, or where they most make sense. Then you can make a ‘path’ to run through when giving your presentation. Within this path you can pan left and right, zoom-in on a detail, or zoom-out to show the big picture.

To help you understand what this looks like, here’s an example.

You can use Prezi online for free, and can easily download your presentations for offline viewing. There are also two paid for versions of Prezi that include additional features like making your content private and replacing the Prezi logo with your own.
