Creating accessible content in Prezi Design
Teachers should use Prezi with care as it is not ADA compliant. Some students will struggle visually with the movement embedded in the program. For this reason, many educators offer Prezi as a student option for presentations rather than as a way to present instructional content.
This tool is a fluid, cloud-based application that can be updated synchronously to allow students in remote and in-person learning to engage in thoughtful and creative presentation development. Teachers can also post instructional presentations and content with a shared Prezi slide deck. It is ideally suited for the transition to hybrid learning.
