Tired of death-by-powerpoint at conference after conference. I'm sure many of us are, yet I am just as guilty. Why? (1) It's easy... we can recycle previous presentations without much work. (2) The conference organizers can assure that they will support it and we don't want to take any risks of our presentation being an epic fail. (3) We are used to it... old habits die hard. I was asked to give a presentation recently about Communicating Climate Change to a college seminar class and decided that I would try something different. I had heard about Prezi for the first time almost a year ago, but never bothered investigate it. Here was my perfect opportunity! I was glad that I made the effort. The interface was straightforward and it really helped me to organize my thoughts. The end result... it was fun to create and I spent 10 minutes just explaining to the students and prof how I built the presentation. I could some neat multiple-scale presentations, perhaps similar in structure to the Powers of 10 video below. I will definitely be using Prezi for future presentations. How about you?
