Prezi: Saying goodbye to IE8 | Digital Presentations in Education | Scoop.it

Before I go any further, we have a pretty great way of solving this issue, and most of you need not fret, just scroll down to the section of this post marked "The Solutions," follow the link and be happy. If you want to know more about the why, read on.

Baiba Svenca's insight:

Those who use Internet Explorer 8 should read in this post why Prezi will no longer work on IE8 and what are the options for using other browsers instead.

Awesome prezi design tips concerning such details as space, line, shape, tone, color, movement, rhythm. Especially suitable for beginners including students.

Prezi news - A finer-tuned top menu

Prezi news - A finer-tuned top menu | Digital Presentations in Education | Scoop.it

Yes, we changed it... again. But I can say with honesty that we touched Prezi’s top menu for just one reason, to make it better.

Last year we put Prezi through a design overhaul. This meant a new design direction, and as a result, a new brand was born. Redesigning the Prezi editor interface was just one of a great number of elements that we changed...

Baiba Svenca's insight:

Read the latest news from Prezi. This time they have reduced the number of icons on the top menu bar leaving only three options - Frames and Arrows, Insert and Template.

Best Free presentation Software and PowerPoint Alternative

Best Free presentation Software and PowerPoint Alternative | Digital Presentations in Education | Scoop.it

The 5 Best Free Presentation Software Alternative to Microsoft PowerPoint. Everyone agrees that Microsoft Powerpoint is so 20th century. It is not the best free presentation tool (In fact it’s not free at all). So what should you use if you want to make 21st century presentations? A few options come close to claim the best free presentation software.

Baiba Svenca's insight:

The article reviews PowToon, Google Drive presentations, 280Slides, Slide Rocket and Prezi. Some great tips for better use of the tools.

PowerPoint Killer Prezi Launches New Interface

PowerPoint Killer Prezi Launches New Interface | Digital Presentations in Education | Scoop.it

Prezi, a popular alternative to Microsoft PowerPoint and other presentation applications, launched a new version of its interface today. The company, which is advised by Jack Dorsey, also announced that it has passed the 15 million user milestone.

For those not familiar, Prezi uses a map-like metaphor for creating presentations instead of a slideshow metaphor. This makes it possible to create non-linear presentations, or presentations that use spatial metaphors for organizing ideas, like mind maps...
