Prezi is an application for creating non-linear presentations (a kind of giant "canvas"), with advanced features such as zoom, presentation path, links, inserting images, videos, text, PDF files, drawings. It's like freely placing the different contents of a presentation on a big poster, a mind map. It also allows free navigation between the inserted resources, displaying them in the order you like.
The path function replaces the linearity of the slideshow; its toolbar is simple, relying rather on the creativity of the user. The zoom function allows you to focus on concepts and explore more details during the presentation.
The application allows the user to design dynamic and smooth presentations with animations and motion effects that are much more impressive than a traditional, simple slideshow. It is ideal for creating video lessons with presentations and animations.
As it is a web service, it does not need to be installed on your computer and can be used immediately from your browser after registration. Any presentation can be modified, played, downloaded from anywhere. No slides, pages, pages or any other restrictions.
Prezi Video: you can import existing content alongside the presenter's camera image or add short text, Unsplash image, Giphy sticker, Giphy moving GIF or icons. The presence of the presenter can make the video more personal.

Prezi Present: non-linear presentation creation, for beginners it is useful to work from an existing template.
Groups of slides are called chapters, their colour and shape can be adjusted.
The menu is quite simple and intuitive, so if you've edited a presentation before, it shouldn't be too challenging to use.

Using one of the tools below instead of the usual - and let's face it, often boring - PowerPoint presentation will surely result in success.
Being short of time, you can turn a previously prepared ppt into a video in just a few steps. Choose Save As, then save the presentation as .mp4 and you're done.

"A picture is worth a thousand words."
In our increasingly visual world we often prefer to look at a well-designed, informative poster with some text than read a long leaflet on the same subject. This is particularly true for our students, so it makes sense to present them the information in a form they can easily digest. An excellent tool for this is an infographic, which presents the information using images.
You can also use it to check understanding: ask students to present in an infographic what they have learned. It is also useful for organizing learning content from different parts of the curriculum. Units of measurement or historical events are a good example for this.
