Partner Eleazar - PREZZI

The Prezzi program is used as a bridge platform between linear and nonlinear information, and, as a presentation tool for the exchange of ideas, either free or structured, text, images, videos, and, other, media, are placed on the canvas, and can be grouped into frames. Afterwards, users designate the size, the position between all the objects in the presentation and how they will be moved creating a mental map. For linear presentation users can construct a prescribed navigation route. The final presentations can be displayed in a web browser window or embedded the presentation into other websites and blogs.  

From the educational point of view, Prezzi facilitates many alternatives when explaining concepts and creating schemes to focus the student's attention through visual stimuli. We must also take into account the pedagogical use we can make of it at any age, it can help us educationally so that our students develop skills through the use of this program, such as the improvement of the synthesis capacity, the increase of creativity, which are easier to expose face to the public, and of course the improvement of ICT control.

Currently, Prezi is having great success when teachers and students present their classes, jobs, exhibitions before the rest of the class, since it is a simple way to advance in the incessant technological advance in which we see ourselves submerged.

In the Active section of educational resources of the BBC, we can find an article in which the author talks about the advantages that Prezi offers when developing educational material for visual learning and the organization of it.

1. Prezi creates a visual impact. It allows you to import images, maps and PDF files and use them as a canvas. With the cinematic experience of the zoom function, students will feel as if they are transported in a "world" that you have designed.

2. Prezi offers more freedom of navigation.  Prezi can be kept in the public domain and, therefore, allows students to access from the Internet.

3. Prezi is a great tool for interactive sessions or group projects. Students can collaborate in real time, in the classroom or at home, to exchange ideas and build the presentation.

4. You can transfer the contents of the PowerPoint to Prezi with the "PowerPoint Import" function.

In addition to the benefits mentioned above, Prezi offers a free educational subscription (just use an email address that clearly belongs to your educational institution).

We propose the creation of short stories through this tool, given that we think it can be an alternative way for teachers to reach their students and improve their creative capacity, synthesis and critical spirit. The activity that we propose is the creation of a classic story that we all know but framed in the current time and even modifying nuances of the general history. In our case, we have chosen to give it a gender approach different from the original one.

The story must be told and displayed using the Prezi application, it can be through photos taken by themselves, or through recordings or by gathering the different forms of communication that they believe are convenient.

The example that we have made is based on the classic story of Cinderella, but in our case it is '' El cenizo '' and the whole story is developed today and dealing with the problems that we can find on a daily basis, We have also chosen to tell the story through photos taken by ourselves and with voice-over recordings that are reproduced at the same time as the photos, narrating this way, the development of the story.

To finish we can say that Prezi is a good and new alternative in education and its successful use can benefit us in the treatment of specific topics in the classroom as well as the improvement on the part of our students in the handling of new technologies and development. of infinitude of capacities.
