Prezi

May 20, 2009

In 2009 Prezi was founded in Budapest Hungary by Adam Somlai-Fischer, Peter Halacsy, and Peter Arvai. Prezi is a presentation software. It's something that I always liked using in my clinicals because I could save presentations online through prezi and I didn't have to worry about saving it to a flash drive.
