Prezi

Prezi is a tool that you can use in your presentations. You can go to this website and make creative slides and more. just go to this webstie to go there go to this link :www.prezi.com, first I will tell you what is a effective presentation. You can use this anytime and everywhere

A Good Presentation

A good presentation is when the slides are not full of paragraphs. If you just type a word that you can expand in your mind or memorize it will be more effective. If you just put paragraphs on a slide you would just look at the screen instead of the audience. The more effective presentation the more the audience will be interest at. And also if you need to talk about a schedule or something else related, just let your audience read the schedule. If you just stand there and speak out all of the contents of the schedule, the people that are looking at your presentation will be very bored and won't be interested anymore. Make sure the slides are easy to see so the audience won't be confused. Okay, I finished talking about an effective presentation.

 

The Tools of Prezi

Now I will be talking about the tools of Prezi. First of all you have to make a account to access Prezi and see what they can do. The main thing about Prezi is the paths that you make for your slides. If you don't fix the path that you wanted to the presentation will be a mess, you can change the path every time so if something is missing you can fix it by changing the path. If you want a new slides and click on the thing that says "outlines and Shapes" click on that and you could choose which one you want so you don't stress of having less slides than you are supposed to. You can also take pictures and place it on your creative slides so it will look more interesting, but remember you have to cite all of the pictures. That is now you'll be an expert in Prezi, one last thing when you are making your first Prezi you can choose a picture for your background and your themes.

Crediting Resources

If you are doing a presentation or something, and get pictures from the internet you have to at least make a citation for it. If you just take a picture and thinks the picture is your and never made a citation your presentation is not fully finish. You have to make a citation cause you have to give credit to the photographer or the author of the picture, but first you need permission from the photographer.

After you get permission from the owner get the picture and put on your presentation. If you want to to complete the citation put one on a piece of document or paper. Now, I am going to tell how to write your citing in MLA format.


Citation in MLA Format
 
First, type or write the author's or photographer's name of the picture. After that add a period next to it, then type the name of the picture with open quote and closing quote and another preiod. Then type "image" with a period next to it. Now, we are almost done but we have to add where you got that picture/photo and put the date it was took and when you saw the the picture.
 
Figure Notes
 
Figure notes are needed to complete the citation, the cause of putting it there is if someone sees your presenation, ebook, etc. they will know the facts of the specific picture they can read the name the taker or the author. This is how you make a figure note first type the name of the picture then right photograper's name or author, and you are done but make the font small but make sure it is readible.
