online websites (like
Prezi) for making

can't access to the presentation.

able to access to your presentations.
● The Internet connection may go down and you
may not be able to save your progress.
12. Final Opinion
● If you need reliable software to make a simple,
but very good presentation and you don't have
an Internet connection you can use a program
like OpenOffice.
● On the other hand, if you want to experience
with something new, and you work on many
computers at a time you can use Prezi.
● A good thing about both programs is that they
are free.
13. My Opinion
● Personally I prefer to use OpenOffice. I think it
is more reliable beacause you don't need
Internet to make your presentations. Also if I
want to see my presentations on another
computer I can always put them on a memory
stick. I think it is easier to use than Prezi. The
only thing I like about Prezi is that it has more
features than OpenOffice. You can add videos
and background music.
