My partner and I decided to make a screencast on how to use Prezi. We chose this screencast because it always felt like a fun way to give presentations and it was something new besides google docs. Our screencast would be appropriate for all ages since it is a basic understanding to get people started off. I loved learning how to use Prezi since I always thought it was a good type of presentation to use and it made things a lot more interesting than just going from slide to slide. The only thing I would change is more of an ability to customise it. If we could choose different colors for everything that would be great and help out with the way you want your presentation to come across.
For our presentation on what to wear for a job interview, we used Google Docs. We chose Google Docs for the fact that we knew how to use it and it was simple and quick. For the age group I would choose a younger audience just so they wouldn't get so distracted and for the other fact that it doesn't look as professional. I never loved Google Docs for the reason being that it always seemed boring to me and there wasn't much to choose from. If I could change one thing about the platform, it would be how it overall looks. It looks to boxy to begin with and too straight forward. It needs more variety in its content overall.
Both Prezi and Google docs are good platforms to use and they do have a lot of similarities. Such as they can both look professional (that depends on how you use it) and they both have something different that makes them stand out. Such as Prezi zooms in and out on pictures and slides and for Google you can add animations to your text and pictures. But the major difference for me on these platforms is how they come across. Prezi looks alive and fun while google docs has no personality along with it.
