If, like me, you already had a Prezi account, you’ll find you can’t just simply sign up for the new Edu accounts. The Edu packages don’t have the Prezi watermark on the final presentations, but they do have a brief ‘educational’ use text shown while the presentation loads.
Edu Pro: same as Pro above but only $59 per year.Edu Enjoy: same as Enjoy above, but free!.Pro: $159 per year, 200mb space, work offline, and the same as the Enjoy above.īut now there is the ‘Edu’ packages of the above.Enjoy: $59 per year, 500mb space, set work to private, and no watermark.Public: free, 100mb space and all your work has the Prezi watermark (not so bad).Last week there were three account types What’s the fuss, I hear you cry? The fuss is that you can now do more, and it’s still free. Now, however, the bods over at Prezi have been listening to the comments that have been posted to twitter and they’ve ‘released’ an account for educators and students.
We've also featured the best free office software.I’ve extolled the virtues of Prezi before, and have shared my first example presentation (see related links below for URLs).
Some users find the ads annoying, but they’re not overly in the way.
However, keep in mind that the software is supported by ads. There’s not much to dislike about WPS Presentation. It’s simple to display your presentation right from WPS Presentation, which means there’s no unexpected troubleshooting when it’s time to show off your work. All of the tools are displayed in a top ribbon, with your slides shown on the left side of the screen for easy navigation. One of the best things about this presentation software is that the user interface will feel incredibly familiar if you’re coming from Microsoft. The selection of included presentation templates is also very impressive for a free software. The WPS Presentation tool has all of the same capabilities of PowerPoint, including tons of animations, slide transitions, content effects, and video embedding. WPS Office Free is a Microsoft Office look-alike that fully support PowerPoint files without any layout issues during import. Also beware that while you can move between Slides and Powerpoint, the conversion often messes with the layout of your slides. The only downside to Google Slides is that bloated slideshows can experience some loading delays. It’s also nice that you can play your presentation in presenter mode, which allows you to preview how it will look to your audience and rehearse timing. Multiple people can work on a slideshow simultaneously, and there’s a built-in group chat so you can keep track of what everyone is doing.
While the selection of templates is somewhat limited, you can easily import hundreds of additional templates for free or create your own.Įven better, Google Slides supports the collaboration tools users have come to expect from Google.
This free presentation software supports embedding videos, creating diagrams, and adding animations to your slides. Google Slides is part of Google Workspace (formerly G Suite), and it does a nice job of matching a number of PowerPoint’s capabilities. Some viewers also might not appreciate the fly-around animation style that’s inherent to the presentation software. Prezi makes it hard to visualize structured data like financials, which can make it difficult to use in business applications. Of course, this type of presentation structure isn’t always ideal. The tools for this are fairly straightforward, especially if you’ve ever used an animation or video editing software. The only major divergence from Microsoft PowerPoint is that you need to add animated paths from one part of the canvas to another. During your presentation, you can seamlessly fly around the canvas and zoom in to look at individual chunks of content.įor how complex Prezi seems, it’s impressively simple to use the platform. You can add blocks of text or images, or even create miniature slides. Instead of creating slide after slide, this presentation software gives you a single giant canvas.
Prezi turns the traditional approach to presentations on its head.
