Title: Presentation tools
Course: Appdate yourself 4t ESO (in English) - Curs 2017/18 > Section: Topic 19. Final Presentation

Document

The latter topic will be used to prepare your oral presentation, in order to submit your app and any other materials you have been developing throughout the course.

To do this, we propose two possible tools, both online, so you can keep working at the same time if all group members share the document. In this way everyone can contribute.

The proposed tool, which you needed to choose one, are:

1. Prezi

Allows collaborative presentations in a format very different from other traditional slide tools. All concepts, objects, etc. are on the same board and are displayed in order to be fixed. This view is carried away and approaching the elements, ie by zooming and rotation, so it is a dynamic presentation.

Be careful not to overuse these effects in the presentation, they can focus the attention of the viewer and detract from the message you intended to convey.

Once the presentation is created, it can be shared for editing or just viewing. In addition, the display can be public or limited to people who know the link. When a Prezi presentation is public it can be downloaded and utilized directly or with the changes that are deemed necessary.

  2. Zoho

It lets you create collaborative presentations in slide format but enriched with active elements and dynamic transitions. Slides may contain text, tables, graphics, images, videos, sounds, forms, etc. and there is a wide format selection of templates to choose from.

Regarding transitions, you can choose different effects, applicable to the entire set of slides or different for each.

As in the case of Prezi, the presentation can be shared privately, to edit or view or public view or to download and use it directly or modified.

Both tools are free use but registration is required. In order to register is necessary to choose an email account. Zoho can be done directly from the register gmail account. To use Prezi for free it is necessary to choose the educational license.

Both can be installed as apps from Google Chrome so that it can be accessed directly from the browser.

Another common feature to both is that they can import presentations made ​​with PowerPoint or Open Office Impress, although certain modifications and adaptations are needed regarding transitions.

To decide between one and the other you have to do some testing with both tools. It is not needed to be too extensive, but it's important to contain the maximum possible elements to play with all the options of both tools.

On the other hand, if you've worked with one of the two, directly choose the unknown. This way you can get to know the possibilities of both.
