Lecturing with PowerPoint, Keynote and Prezi

Room: 203C Mac lab (North Building)
Instructor: Grant Gregson, Glen Lowry
This workshop will present an overview and best practices methods for using the PowerPoint, Keynote and Prezi presentation software. Keynote is a presentation software application, developed by Apple as an alternative to Microsoft’s PowerPoint application and is a part of the Apple iWorks suite of applications. Prezi is an entirely Flash-based app that lets you break away from the slide-by-slide approach of most presentations. Instead, it allows you to create non-linear presentations where you can zoom in and out of a visual map containing words, links, images, videos, etc. All three applications allow for presenters to choose from a variety of templates and allows them to embed, audio, video, photos, setup 3D animations and links to websites.
