Prezi Project Presentation Download Instructions
To turn in your Prezi project: DUE IN CLASS ON TUESDAY APRIL 5th.
Your task over the weekend:
– Wrap up your projects.
– Draft your next journal entry:
Prompt:
“How did this round of peer review go for you? Were the comments helpful in finishing up your project? Is there anything you’d change about this style of peer review? Also, write a brief paragraph about what choices you made during the composing process of this project. Think in terms of why you chose the ad you chose; what colors you used; the transitions (the pathways). Also, since Prezi works in a non-linear format, how did this affect your perception of transition from main point to main point? How does this differ from a text-based essay? A PowerPoint essay?”
– I am requiring a downloaded copy of the Prezi presentation as well as a link to the online version.
Steps for downloading the project:
– Log into your Prezi account.
– Make sure you are in the “Your Prezis” tab.
– Click on the Prezi project you want to download.
– Wait for it to load on the site.
– Click on the “Download” tab along the right hand side of the screen.
– In the “Choose a format to download” dialogue box, make sure you’ve selected the “Export to Portable prezi: to present offline” option. NOTE: since we’re free users, this is the only available option.
– Click on the “Download” tab in the lower left hand corner of the box.
– Prezi will “package” the presentation.
– Once it is finished “packaging,” the box will have a message that reads:
“Your downloadable prezi has been created. Please “click this link to download” the file. The phrase in quotes here represents the download link.
– Click the link, and a box with save options should come up.
– With Internet Explorer, the option buttons are “Open,” “Save,” and “Cancel.” Click “Save.”
– Next, in Internet Explorer, a “Save As” dialogue box will appear.
– Also, it’s usually a good idea to make sure you’re saving it to the desktop. Internet Explorer does offer the option of saving it directly to the desktop.
– Next, find the folder on the desktop; it is a zip file.
– Right click on the zip file and choose the “Extract Here” option.
– A folder will appear after the extraction is complete.
– Rename the folder using this format:
lastname_unit3_project (example: lenz_unit3_project)
– I will need the entire folder because the presentation can’t run without ALL the contents of this folder.
– On the due date (Tuesday, March 5th), I will have my flashdrive for easy an easy transfer.
– The link to the prezi can be emailed to me.
To get a link to your prezi, follow these steps:
– After clicking on the prezi project that you’re turning in, scroll to the options below the project.
– There are options for what level of privacy you want for your project, but a link will work no matter what level you select.
– Just above these privacy options and just below the prezi project, there is a link called “Get link” or share.
– Click on this “Get link” option.
– Highlight and copy the entire link.
– Paste this into the body of an email message.
– What about posting links to discussion board so we all can look at other projects?
