After I shared my recent blog post on how to do a good presentation<\/a>, I’ve received several questions\u00a0on\u00a0how I make the “snazzy” Prezi<\/a> slides I use during my talks. So in this post, I will let you in on the “trade secrets” of how to create a memorable Prezi talk. As you will see, it’s actually fairly simple, not to mention incredibly fun, to come up with good visual aids to support\u00a0your argument (if you haven’t used Prezi before, I recommend opening a free account and playing with the features a bit – you will see that it is a very intuitive system).<\/p>\n To illustrate how I go about creating slides,\u00a0I will use\u00a0a ten-minute\u00a0talk I gave at the 2014 Leiden Global<\/a> anniversary \u00a0as an example. The talk is about how we make sense of digital media technology, and to what extent it is useful to think of media as “tools”. You can click your way through the original slides below, and a short video version of this talk<\/a> is also available on youtube<\/a>.<\/p>\n
