I had never heard of Prezi before and have limited experience of using PowerPoint and giving presentations. This is an area that I should try to develop as it would be useful for job applications when the interview requires a presentation. Being able to use something other than PowerPoint would show that I have wider computer literacy, and an ability and willingness to learn new skills as well as keeping up to date with newer technologies.
I have had a play with Prezi and I think it will take a bit of time to get used to how it works to be able to make my own presentations that look good, but it is fun to use. I have had a look at some of the presentations and I am impressed with how good they look.
I had never heard of Slideshare either, I can see that it could be useful to see what has already been produced on specific subjects. I don’t have any presentations that I would want to share, but I will remember it for the future in case I need to write any presentations, it could be really useful.
