It’s official. I’m in love with Prezi!
Prezi is something like PowerPoint except simpler, fancier and based on Flash. Embedding video into my presentations was quantum leaps easier than with PowerPoint. Prezi also represents a completely different way of looking at presentation software, since Prezi is a service delivered entirely online.
You can learn more about Prezi here. And you can see my other Prezi presentations here:
These lectures can also be found at http://preeclampsiaonline.net in a post which I’ve placed here:
The presentations below are for medical students at the Morehouse School of Medicine. Any lecture of this nature is always a work in progress. These unfortunate students will be my guinea pigs. I’m sure the lecture it self as well as the audio/visual presentation will improve, since a new set of students will be getting this lecture every 6 months or so.
I’m also glad to finally spruce up my old preeclampsia lecture which is (gasp) about 5 years old.
Please enjoy and feel free to comment.

I have had a play with Prezi but it did take some time to work it out. I LOVE what you’ve done here – will pass onto my midwifery teaching colleagues. Can you tell me if the presentations be downloaded off-line, in other words, how would you use them if you do not have access to the Internet? cheers Sarah

Thanks for the kind comments. Actually, I first saw a Women’s health Prezi at *your* site before I began to create mine:

There is a new option at Prezi where you can download your presentation in a folder that contains a Flash file. It is completely self standing, so no internet access or any other program is required.
When I speak to medical students (and I’m not sure if I’ll have a working internet connection) I place the folder on a USB drive and I can present it from there with a double click of the Flash file.
I’m looking forward to the International Day of the Midwife. Let me know what I can do to assist.
