 **Here is a step-by-step guide to your first Prezi:**
 * Step 1: ** Sign up at [|Prezi.com] for free and click on “Create New Prezi”.
 * Step 2: ** Think of a metaphor for your message and find a suitable image on the Net. This image will become your background canvas (you can also use one of the templates available for free from the site).




 * Step 3: ** Once you have chosen a template, you will gain access to the presentation generating interface. You can click anywhere on the canvas and start typing, but it is easier if you create text fields first. They will allow you to zoom in and out with more ease.

Thanks to Prezi, you can “fly” from location to location on your chosen canvas, turning elements upside down, zooming in or out, to explore the relationship between ideas. A teacher who uses Prezi becomes a kind of painter of information. He chooses the right visual imagery to convey a memorable message. In contrast to the text-heavy, outline-based methodology of PowerPoint, Prezi packs a powerful punch and certainly deserves its place in modern education
 * Step 4: ** Personalise your text by choosing the font, size and colour. You can then move, scale and rotate your text in order to reinforce your message. Add pictures, diagrams, videos, music and sound effects.
 * Step 5: ** Edit the zooming path with the left-hand side menu, which also allows you to rehearse your presentation before saving it and exporting it.
