This
method boldly went to the newest presentation programs. Forget Power Point.
That’s old school.
First
up is Prezi, a pretzel-twisting experience that will suck in your audience or
leave them spinning and dizzy. It has its proponents and opponents. But, if
done without too many swirling and sweeping curves can create excitement and
intrigue. Reminds me of a new device television and movies used that was first dizzying
and confounding—the rapid sped-up showing of multiple still shots or
photographs so fast you could not discern individual photos; yet, it is
commonplace now.
It
would be easier to have a drop-down menu of some question you have rather than
having to see the whole range in the Prezi program. But, it has lots of visuals
and a swooping in and out like a movie camera so maybe it will be a hit with
library patrons.
Since
I’m doing this exercise much later after the initial offering, many of the
links on Method 7 page don’t work anymore. But, I see Google Docs mentioned and
present day has caught up; our library and campus already uses Google Docs
routinely.
