Thing 17

 Like most people who work as part of a team I am happy to share resources but I have to confess that the overuse of Powerpoint presentations within the FE college where I work drives me crazy! 

Therefore being a bit short of time this week (the start of the new academic year is always stressful) I decided to concentrate on Prezi as I am already familiar with Slideshare.

When one of my ex-colleagues (Bound to unravel) decided to use Prezi last year in order to create a new presentation for our library induction I was really impressed and wanted to learn more. But as it always the case working in libraries there was never enough time to explore Prezi properly.

 Undertaking this CPD23 course has finally given me the opportunity to learn more about Prezi and its varied uses. In particular I found the tips and examples in Ned Potter’s “The ultimate guide to Prezi“ really useful.

As a result when it came to organising this year’s induction I have found that doing this “Thing” has enabled me to update the original presentations with confidence, even so far as to try out a few ideas of my own!

  1. Hi Library Bear
    I had a look at the new improved induction and I'm really impressed. You've done a good job of tidying it up and it's now much easier on the eye. On reflection I can say I definitely got carried away with zooming in and out and whizzing around!
    Hope the start of the new academic year is going well and inductions are running smoothly.
