HELP!

Just spent the last two hours working in Prezi. Boy I don't think like the program does. I don't understand the zoom feature. I downloaded all my pictures, no problem, other than it slow. Put a bracket in, moved pictures around, added a quote or two. But now I am stymied. The little control thing keeps disappearing off the paper. And then I have to go searching for it. With the zoom, like I said I don't understand, I have it all screwed up. Good Night,

Sandy,

I would agree that Prezi can be a bit of a challenge at first. I found myself getting frustrated trying to work the controls. We will try to help each other in our group meeting. :) I would try to help now, and I am not saying I am any good at it, but it kind of depends what you are trying to accomplish. If you click on an object, you will zoom to it; pull back with the mouse to zoom out (at least on a Mac) or click on the magnifying glass on the bottom of the page. I found that the control menu disappears if I move (drag) my presentation too far away from the starting point. Sliding it back has brought the menu back. I think we will all get better with this tool. I like the fact that it has a "wow" factor that is lacking with PowerPoint and Keynote. Because I am not any good at using those tools either, Prezi doesn't frustrate me any more than any other new tool. :)
