What is Prezi?

Prezi is a tool that we can use to create

presentations. Unlike Power Point

presentations, Prezi presentations are not

linear (it means, we are not going slide by

slide) but we work on a single slide or table

and we move through it using zooms.

Choose the item that you want, in my case "text inside

a circle", and click the "Accept" button. You will see the

next:

Can you see the small “1”?

It means that this will be the

first item to be displayed in

our presentation. Later I will

explain more about this

topic.

Do double-click

inside the circle to

add text.

You will see the

following options...

Si quieres mover el texto, selecciona una línea y aparecerá una manita que te permitirá moverlo.

move the text.

When you have finished, click here.

If you click the “+ add” button you can add another item that you can

customize exactly same that the first item. Remember when we have

pressed the giant “+”!
