Visme: A Website for Creating Presentations
Summary : Breakout of Your PPT with Visme!
Visme is a website that allows users to create presentations and infographics. To begin, users must register with Visme. After registering, users begin by clicking the “Create New Visme” button, titling their project, and then choosing if they wish to create a presentation, infographic, or blank document. The difference is that the presentations and infographics include premade templates and specific dimensions; whereas, the blank document allows users to create new project from scratch. After selecting their project type and template, users are able to modify and add to its content on the next page. Here, users are presented with a canvas that includes options on its left side that allows users to add backgrounds, text, shapes, images, graphics, videos, and music. All the content added to a Visme is customizable, so users are often able to modify the content’s color, style, size, and effect. In addition, users are able to view their slides on the right side menu of the screen, and they can click the ”+” button on the top of that menu to add new slides. When finished, users can click the “Preview” button on the top of the screen to view their product before publishing it. When ready to publish it, users need to click the corresponding button on the top of the screen, and Visme will provide them with a link to share with others so they can view their work, a code for embedding their work into an existing website, the option to download their work as a JPG, and additional options. Once published, users can return to their dashboard to view all the Vismes they have created. They can also edit, preview, rename, duplicate, and share projects from this screen.
Please Note: Visme offers additional options that are available if users upgrade.
Instructional Ideas
- After students read a text or view a video independently, teachers can require them to make a presentation slide or infographic that relates to it. The slide or infographic can be made to summarize, critique, or question the text/video, and teachers can make specific requirements for this assignment that may include a certain amount of images, text, links, and colors to be included on it. When finished, students can publish their work and post its URL to a class website.
- At the beginning of the year, teachers can have their students create a presentation about themselves. The students can include information about their childhood, interest, hobbies, families, and friends on their presentation. Plus, teachers can require them to include pictures, text, and links to other websites, if appropriate for the assignment. When finished, students can share their presentation in small groups and/or by posting them to a class website.
- Instead of or in addition to a traditional research paper, students can create a presentation for their topic using this website.
- After completing an experiment, students can summarize their experience conducting the experiment using this website. To begin, students can create a presentation, and each slide of the presentation can address a different part of the experiment, starting with the background information and including their hypothesis, data collection, data analysis, findings, and implications. Students can add pictures of themselves completing the experiment and working with its different elements. When finished, students can post their presentation to a class website so other students can access it. Or, teachers can have students present their experiment, either in small groups or to the whole class.
- Teachers can create an assignment where students have to design an advertisement for a product or trip. The product could be something that already exists or something that the students would have to invent. The trip could be a real trip already available or something out of science fiction. Once assigned, students would have to identify the key attributes of the product or trip, or their advertisement would have to use a marketing technique to influence people to purchase the product or take the trip. Once the advertisements are created, they can be posted to a class website. The students’ classmates would then view these advertisements and offer feedback about what they liked about them, how they could be improved, and if they would purchase the product or trip based on the advertisement.
