Resources for Designing Prezis and Slideshows (PowerPoint, Google Slides, etc.)

Decide on Your Presentation Format

Your presentation can be done using one of the following two formats (only these, no others): a Prezi or a slideshow using a program such as PowerPoint, Keynote or Google Slides. Decide on which format will best showcase your career research and job shadowing, as well as demonstrate for your interviewers your technological skills. View and explores the tutorials below for your selected mode of presentation before creating your presentation. After you have explored the tutorials, begin creating your presentation.
