Let's Talk Prezi

What is Prezi?

Prezi is another form of “presenting” presentations. This was the first online tool I was taught how to use in grade school after learning how to create presentations using powerpoint. Prezi is very similar to creating a powerpoint/ Google Slides. Prezi, as referred to in the video, is put together like a giant puzzle. Your presentation is available before you on the screen, but in the form of an online poster board (which I find really neat)! You have many different templates available to you, are able to brainstorm at once and arrange different "slides" as you see your ideas.  Those first brainstorming ideas are also able to be dragged and moved in the order you would like to explore each topic. With Prezi, like I said above, you have a poster board before you, however you can zoom in on the different topics so that is all you are viewing, but you can zoom out to the full content. In order to zoom in/out, you scroll your mouse up to zoom in and scroll the mouse back to zoom out. You can also change the order in which you view things by adjusting the icon thumbnails on the left hand side of the screen.

You can add sound in two different ways!

You can add sound that continuously plays by clicking “insert” in the top menu and then scrolling down the options to find “Add Background Music”.

Or

You can add sound to a specific “path step”. You can do this by clicking on that specific icon thumbnail and then click “insert” from the top menu and scroll down to find the option “Add Voiceover to Path Step”.

You can also insert charts to your Prezi by clicking “insert” from the top menu and then inserting a chart (line, pie, bar, or column chart) from the options in the menu. You can adjust the chart from the various options provided (such as data, style, if you want to show values/ or not, chart colors, label colors, etc.).

My Prezi Assignment

This week..I decided to do a bunch of projects...for no apparent reason what-so-ever..but to give my house more appeal! So...I decided to paint my dining room a "foresty" olive-colored green, as well as paint my kitchen... a bright maroon red!

I also decided to paint all of the trim from cream colored..to white, and the wood trim around my front window..as well as a spiked idea of painting the mantle white, and soon to be black! So, there I was, in painting mode..all week!

Later in the week, I saw an idea on pinterest about "painting" fireplaces...which I thought was kind of a silly idea, so I decided to do some research on it. I then looked at more ideas and eventually browsed upon "whitewashing brick fireplaces". I thought this was a really neat idea, so I decided I would look into it some more..and eventually, today, I decided to give it a try! It wasn't too strenuous, however it is very drippy! I actually applied two coats because I didn't like how the first coat appeared so light...and I applied numerous black bricks before even starting to see how it would look in the end...and I really like the outcome!


So, that is what my Prezi is about..how to whitewash brick!
