CREATE YOUR TIMELINE

*Since the video below was created, Prezi has updated. Most things will be the same. But here are a few updates:

• To create a new presentation, click the "+" sign from your Prezi dashboard, then "Create a new presentation". Choose the first option (Blank - White), give your presentation a name, and you're all set! Watch the video below to learn what to do after that.
• There is now no grid on the background like in the video. Do your best to evenly space your timeline lines!
• Zoom in and out by scrolling with your mouse.

Watch this video to get started creating your timeline. After watching all the way through, create your timeline from 1750 to 2050 with 10 year intervals.

ADDING TIME SPAN LINES TO YOUR TIMELINE

Watch this video to learn how you will add time spans for each person you study. After watching, add a time span for YOUR LIFE.

*Since the Prezi updates, I recommend inserting a shape (rectangle) instead of a line to use for your time spans.

ADDING EVENTS TO YOUR TIMELINE

Now, learn how to add events with images & video to your timeline. After watching, add a few events about YOUR LIFE.

ADDING FRAMES

Next, you'll learn how to add frames to your Prezi. After watching all the way through, add a title and some frames that show the events from your life.

This first video below was taken before the Prezi update; I recommend watching it still, because it gives a good overview of what you will be doing.

The second video is a shorter one recorded to show exactly how you will add frames to your presentation since the software update occurred.
