Prezi - What we learnt about 'what works' and 'what doesn't work' in design and layouts.

Our Prezis were great for informing each other about Digital Citizenship but as we viewed them there were some features that worked well and others that didn't.  In your group give a summary of what you think worked well and the things that you wouldn't use next time:

We thought that Prezi was a great website to do our presentations on. At first it was very hard but then we got the hang of it. Katherine: I thought that the colours and contrast fitted in well together. Angelique: I liked how we had unlimitted space and how we could get images and videos from Prezi. Laura: I liked how you could make a space (eg. a tree) and type inside it. Colours that went well together were orange and blue, purple and yellow and green and red.

We think that next time we should be careful of what colours that we chose to put together like green and yellow and also how big and clear the wrighting is so people can see it properly. Some of the good things were: that some people chose good back grounds and colours for the righting which made it stand out like a green back ground and purple righting. We also liked the way that other people had the pictures coming after the text. Well done everybody

Our classes Prezi's were amazing. Although there were a few issues with the colours not matching and also a couple of problems with the text sizes, Some were too big so it looked fuzzy when you read it and some were too small you couldn't even see the letters of the world. With the colours yellow didnt work with a white background and also purple and black didn't match well together. These are some things that we will learn to get better at. But apart from that everyone had so much fun doing Prezi, well we know our group loved it.

Prezi is a great program. During watching each other's Prezi's, we found out that some colours together don't go very well. Like a white background with yellow writing didin't work, as we couldn't read it. Also, some prezi's had pictures that were really far away from the writing. When they went from one scene to another, it took to long for the picture to show.

The Prezies were good but people kept clicking too fast so you couldn't read the information. The colour was another problem they needed to put colours together that would actually match not just your favourite colours together. So next time use light coloured back ground and use darker colours for the text. Also leave the mouse alone until you are certain people have read the information. The last thing is the design you could be creative by using the wizard or you could use settings layout which is good if you need a last minute design.

In Prezi people had to choose the backround and text colour carefully. People put photos and effects on their Prezi's to make it look better, but some people put photos that didn't go with the topic. It looks better when you use a template for anything. Some people used too much or not enough information and they sometimes move the slides to fast. Some colours didn't go together like green and yellow etc.

We have been thinking about how we can make Prezi's more interesting here is what we have come up with. We think that a white backround with colourful writing and pictures stood out well. But the ones that had coloured backround like green and blue you could only do certan colours like black or orange etc. We think that putting the writing with the pictures looked good. Having to much writing it looked crowded. Having to many pictures it looked to busy. It was good if you had not to much writing but not to little writing. If you had a set backround it looked good but it could of been a bit more creative. We think that Prezi is a great way to be creative and it is more interesting then just a regular poster because you can do more things!

We thought a light coloured background was easy to read off. Writing needed to be a substantial size to read clearly. Pictures and videos made the presentation more interesting and makes it easier to understand the topic. To make it a good presentation read through the text while it is being presented so that the slides don't move too quickly. You can use templates which gives it a bit of a razzle dazzle. Apart from that, prezie is easy to use and can make a great presentation and it is fun to use.

In our Prezi we learnt thet contrast is very important. The back ground needs to be in contrast with the text or else the writing will not stand out. We also learnt that too many pictures make your Prezi look over crowded. But some pictures are still needed to follow on from the text.We think that paragraphs look better than small sentences. Templates can also be used but sometimes they won't match the topic.

We think prezi is a great site for kids. In our group our purple writing did not show up well in a pink text box as we could not see the writting on the projector as it looked visible on the pod.colours that did not work were light blue and dark blue together,red and green did not work also.Yellow did not look good as it was to bright so you needed to have balance.It was confusing when you go through all the text and then do the photos .We think you should do the photos after you have shown the text for that section.
