It's that time of the school year when instructors turn the podium over to the students for classroom presentations. Class presentations and speeches are a little intimidating, but they are great experience for students. You'll be expected to speak in front of an audience many times in the future, as a college student or as a supervisor in the working world, so you can use this practice to prepare for a successful future.
One of the most exciting presentations tools I've seen is called Prezi. This is a cloud-based tool (online) that you can access and use for free. It's easy to put together a professional-looking slide show with this online software, and the result will be a fabulous show that will look much more impressive than the PowerPoint shows we're all so familiar with.
The shows feature a "zooming" effect along a path that is made of your own slides. If that's confusing, you can gain a better understanding by looking at a few sample presentations.
As fabulous as your presentation looks, you have to make sure you are prepared for the delivery. Make sure you have considered everything that can go wrong with the room and the technology before you get started.
