The past two weeks were mostly focused on putting together my presentation. I decided to use Prezi for my presentation. Prezi was a tool which I had a never used and I really enjoyed the visual appeal of Prezi. Another feature which I really enjoyed about Prezi was the ability to import YouTube videos and background music into presentation. Placing videos and music into Prezi were not quite as easy as I had planned. After some quick Google searches, I delved into another new technology, Freemake (see link below). Freemake allows conversion of YouTube music and videos into formats, such as MP3, which can then be used in Prezi. Furthermore, Freemake allows conversion of Youtube videos so these can be edited. Prezi is also not able to import Word documents these must be converted to PDF's which was pretty simple was I knew the steps to do this.
Here are some useful links which I used for my Prezi presentation and also will be helpful in the future.
