Prezi Precautions

Picture your presentation as a journey you're taking your audience on.

Plan your presentation outside of Prezi. Use paper, drawing software, or the SimpleMind+ app.

Think about what media files you'll need to include: photos, graphics, video or audio files.

Planning Your Prezi

Think about how certain concepts relate to each other and how they fit inside or around each other. Determine if there are topics you can group together that you can zoom in and out of.

Browse through some of the templates on prezi.com to see if any might fit your presentation.

Browse other prezis to see if there are any public and reusable presentations you can use.
