Unit 3: Design and Application of Prezi Presentation as Instructional Support Aid

From KNILT

Unit 3: Objectives and Purpose

  • Students will be able cite evidence as to why Prezi is more effective than Powerpoint by critically reading and analyzing the case study
  • Students will be able to create their own Prezi presentation by exploring the different presentation examples and applying information acquired for the platform tutorial videos
  • Students will be able to critique peer-generated Prezi presentations by assessing the work against the provided rubric
  • Students will be able to revise and edit their own Prezi presentations by applying constructive feedback provided by peers

The purpose of this unit is to explore the Prezi platform in depth. This unit's progression will enable participants to take the steps necessary to generate a highly- effective Prezi presentation for instructional purposes!

Introduction & At a Glance

When it comes down to it, which platform is more effective in terms of impact on learning? We will analyze the findings of a scientific study confirming which of the two is more successful! After this step, we will move forward with exploring different platform examples, determining what makes for a great presentation! We are not done just yet! Finally, we will create our very own Prezi presentations!

Lesson 1: Which platform has a more desirable impact on learning: Prezi or Powerpoint?
