Google Slide and Prezi
Google Slide
Back ago,
especially in my high school life, the only application that I know to make
presentation is only Power point. I thought power point is the great
application to make a great presentation at that time, but it changes when I
learn and found out that there a lot of application over that we can use to
make presentation become more interesting and also easy especially Google slide
application. Google slide is an easy application that provided for every Google
user. Basically Google slide is a presentation application to make our application become more interesting, like power point but in Google Slide we can found lot of benefit that we can not find it in the power point. Every people who have a Google account they will directly can use that
application without require to make a new account anymore. Here I will share
some the tips and trick how to make a presentation using Google slide and the
strength and also the weaknesses using this application.
How to make Presentation in Google Slide.
First thing first, to make a presentation using this application is very
easy, the only thing you need to do is:
- You have to make sure that you have a Gmail(Google mail) account, If you already have a Gmail account, login in your Gmail and you will be directly lead to the Google slide application.
- After that, to make a new presentation point you need to click “Start a new presentation”option.
- After click that, you will have your presentation paper work. You can change your theme or use the usual theme that Google slide give the first time.
- After you’ve done with your presentation making process, don’t forget to rename “Untitled presentation” box above, with your presentation title name, and your presentation will automatically saved in your Google slide account. It’s very easy right.
The Google Slide's Strength
Google slide application is easy to use and we can access it anytime as
long as we have an internet connection. The thing that I like the most while
make a presentation with this application is:
1.
Collaboration
program. What a great and creative tools that Google slide provide is we can
edit the presentation with our friends, colleagues, in the different place even
country. Google slide provide a collaboration program that make us can edit the
presentation with our friends although we do not stay or live in the same place
or country with them. Collaboration program is very easy to use, we just invite
the collaborator using E-mail and they will have an access to edit the
presentation together with us. No worry if we have a group presentation
assignment and one of our friends do not want to help us to make it. In Google
slide people who edit the page in the document will be recorded. All the tracks
in the presentation will be recorded in this application so we can figure out
someone who participate helping the presentation and someone who are not. Also Google
slide give us the comment section box, which we can discuss the topic further
via online with our friends.
2.
Lot of awesome
input program. The good side using this app is, we can browse and develop our input
program easily such as theme. Google slide over great choice to beautify the
presentation page, and we can use lot of the theme and if want to add more
theme, we also can download it via online or we can insert the theme as well.
Not only the theme, we also can put a video in the page section to make our presentation
more clear, and numerous font that we can use fastly, easily and free.
3.
Easy to access.
The other benefit that I have experience using this application is, I can
easily access the Google slide in any device. I can access it from my hand
phone or any other gadget as long as my Google account with me I can login in
any device that I like.
4. Save automatically program.
Any other great program over in this application is, the automatic save writing.
I do not have to worry with the blackout anymore, because all of my writing will
be saved automatically in my Google slide account. The ctr+S it not really
needed in this application I suppose.
5.
Speaker notes. Every
time I have a presentation in front of the class, I will also make a bunch of paper notes then I can read it if I can not
remember the point and the long explanation of my presentation. Bring lot of paper notes is very complicated if we speak before the class, it also make me look
unprepare. Once again, everything changes when I using a Google slide application. The
awesome side program that addict me to use this application is, I can secretly put
my notes in the below of my presentation point which is only displayed on my
computer screen, so the audience can not read my secret personal note, and I can make my
presentation become more confident without my complicated paper notes anymore.
6. Offline use. The other program
that Google slide over to the user is, we can edit our presentation assignment
in offline mode. Just download Google Slide application either in your computer, or
gadget, and do some additional setting, I can edit my presentation offlline.
Google Slide's Weaknesess.
After realize
lot of benefit that Google slide application over to the user
above. I also
experience the bad time while using this application program.
1.
Offline mode
only provide if we are download the application. When I want to do some
editing in offline mode, I have to download the app which the size is quite big
and I have to remove some my app to install this app.
2.
Absolutely if we
want to edit the last document via offline we have to make the first document
via online, which is we still have to access it using internet.
3.
Using the High browser
resolution. It happened to me when I want to edit my last file in my old
computer, the Google Slide application can not open in my general Google chrome
in my browser and ask me to increase my Google chrome browser.
4.
The collaborator
program can be good option or can not be a good option. The problem in the
collaborator program is, if one of our friends does the mistake while editing
the presentation file, all the mistake will automatically save and can become more
dangerous.
Prezi
Prezi is a great
presentation application to make the user become more creative with give the
user chance to design and enhance their presentation appearance using lot of
the tools. it actually a presentation tools like Power point and Google slide,
but in prezi you do not make slide to show each point of your presentation, but
in the prezi you have to zoom in or out and manage your presentation with maybe
stick it into some cute icon and we click it and it will show every material of
our presentation. My first experience using Prezi application I can said that
this application is remarkable, I have never think that we can design our
presentation look like video if we are preview it. Before I meet and use Prezi
application, the only way I make a presentation only put the definition, notes,
in the slide to slide and sometime add a picture so audience will not get
bored, but right now I can make a presentation in the unique way, creative way
and absolutely it very a great media to use when we want to make an interesting
presentation that interact audience attention.
How to Create a Presentation in Prezi.
To make a great
presentation using prezi is very easy, here I will give some explanation to
make a presentation with Prezi.
- Open Prezi application, and sign up with your E-mail.
- After you already fill all requirements in the sign up process, choose the free account mode, and create a public free account.Afterward you will have your Prize account and click get started.
- Then, you will enter your prezi account and will find the recommendation video about guidance as the first people who login in the prezi if you do not want to watch it then skip.
- Next, Create New prezi .
- Manage your presentation with choose the template which is provided in the prezi and click “Use This Template”. You can choose educational, business, marketing template and much more as you wish.
- Edit your presentation with move the slide, and you can also add frame or subtopic if you need more.
- After you finishing your work, don’t forget to rename your presentation names and click save.
The Prezi's Strength.
Absolutely Prezi application is very awesome and amazing, we can make the dull presentation become more interesting, and my favorite part when using this application is:
1.
Free account.
With that great tools that prezi over to the user, we also can access it with
free. We can make amazing presentation as a free user in the prezi only using
the internet connection and we can make the audience do not get bored with new presentation appearence.
2.
Collaboration program.
It’s same as Google Slides have, we can also invite our friend to join either
for edit our presentation, or just send our presentation to make them can give the comment
in our prezi although we do not in the same place. We can invite them using email, and they will
receive our prezi presentation as soon as we send it.
3.
Numerous
Template themes. The most awesome part is, I can choose and customize the theme like my expectation. Prezi provide lot of template to their user, the template
in the prezi are a lot. You can use the educational, business, marketing and
much more. Even if we are not satisfied with the template that already given in
the prezi, we can change it with insert the picture and make it as our template
or background.
4.
Enrich with the latest Tools. Prezi almost have every tools that we need to make a great presentation.
We can insert the YouTube video if we want to show some video to the audience,
also prezi provide arrow tools, symbol and shape, draw line, highlighter, add
music background and many more.
5.
Insert power
point slide, if you still miss using a power point slide, no need to worry
because I found out the tool in the prezi where we can add power point slide in
our prezi presentation slide.
Prezi's Weakness.
Absolutely Prezi give lot of benefit for us to be more
creative to make an interesting
presentation point and also make us learn how
to design the presentation to the next level.
However with all of that
strength, Prezi also have the weaknesses when use this
presentation editing
program such as:
- Need High Internet Connection. The thing that I do not like while making the presentation using prezi is, I have to wait the loading process for a very long time because prezi need high internet connection in processing and load the data. I spend lot of the time to wait the loading process , or go to the Internet cafe to get the good internet connection for finishing the Presentation project in Prez more faster.
- High Browser quality. While I make a presentation in Prezi I have to change my computer until three times just because my computer and my friend’s computer do not have high browser quality. I have to upgrade my browser which is take lot of the time and also space.
- Bit complicated. If this the first time you are using this application, I highly recommend you to watch the video guidance about how to make prezi. Because Prezi is an advance presentation Application, it takes a lot of the time for me to learn and understand the use of the lay out of this application.
- PAY!. If you want to get more option, template and easiness to make the presentation using Prezi. You have to pay some money to get the higher great account quality.
- Zoom only. Prezi is an application to make a presentation with zoom in and out some area. The problem is, we can only zoom in and out which is very monotone and we have to thinking deeper to make our presentation do not look boring every time using this application.
- Online only. To access and edit the data in Prezi, we can not make it in offline mode like Google slide and power point do. That is why we have to make sure we have good Internet connection every time wan to use this presentation.
- Computer only. Very different with Google slide, we can not access and edit our presentation in Hand phone. Actually we can download Prezi application in the Google Play Store, but it only to play the presentation not for making or do the editing.
For further learning!,
That is the brief introduction about what is prezi look a like. I also
make a Prezi presentation along with my group Nur Saadah and Al-Ikhsan, if you want
to read and learn more further about Prezi, I really reccomend you to open My Prezi account here, Narrative Text Prezi Presentation , or go to the link https://prezi.com/view/c3faT6yLDDT9r1G1ow1E/.
Which One better??
In my view, to increase and develop our material lesson especially in
Educational matter, especially to teach the student, Google Slide and Prezi are useful program that can be
taught in the student to increase and boost their creativity to
design a good presentation with using those application. Especially in the teaching
process, the teacher can use those application to make and deliver the lesson material become more interesting and increase students attention and curiosity.
