feedback on A1
I just finished my A1 presentation and could use a little feedback. I did it as a Prezi. As it turns out, Prezi can be incredibly time-consuming–jeez! (I probably could have written the essay in half the time.)
If anyone has the time to have a look and share their thoughts, I would appreciate it:

Hi Ben!
I am getting an error message when I try to access your Prezi. (Something went wrong – We could not load a media file in your Prezi). I would love to take a look at it! Hopefully you can get the media issue resolved. Good luck!

It must have been a glitch on Prezi’s end as everything appears fine now. I quite enjoyed your Prezi! Sometimes it can be a difficult medium to work with as it is time consuming, but the results are often very impressive (as they are in your case). I found your presentation focused and informative without being oversaturated with unnecessary info. Your presentation moved along smoothly and was easy to navigate, unlike some of my first experiences, both making and viewing, Prezi works. There is very little to critique here!
Thank you for creating an attention grabbing, informative presentation. (I want to try out gamesalad now!) Well done.

Hi Jen. Thanks. I’m not sure what the problem is. I just opened it with 3 different browsers just by clicking on the link and it worked for me. Are your plugins all up-to-date?
If you still can’t view it, I put a downloadable, offline version in my GDrive that you should be able to get from here:

It’s about 45MB, I think.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ben

Hi Ben,
I have to agree with you. I chose to use Prezi also and it is a lot of work. I looked at your presentation and I thought it was very good. You did a good job of explaining what the ventrue is, where it stands in the market, etc. Looks like you covered all the bases. Well done.

Hi Ben,
I don’t have a critical assessment to offer you right now.
I just wanted to say, I enjoyed going through your presentation, which I found simple to navigate through and informative. Prezi adds a feel of interactivity to presentations that I think is missing from MS Office tools. It was worth your time to learn the progam, and i think your presentation has benefited from it. Keep up the good work.

I did not get an error message, therefore I am wondering if it was something internal at Prezi which has since been resolved.
As for the presentation, I like the comprehensiveness of your thoughts, and the area’s you explored. I am wrestling with a potential market analysis paper, and found some of the topics you touched on to be very similar.

Nice work Ben,
At the end I was hoping that the last action would come out and it was going to spell Ben or salad or something cool like that.
You did well segmenting the delivery without loosing the content.
Really liked the founders bit with the pictures – nice reminder that there are real people behind these things.

I really liked it Ben – well done.
Like any other media, really, Prezi does take a lot of work to do it well. You have a lot there, and it has a good flow and a consistent presentation, the latter which is often lacking in Prezis. You have a lot of information, too often lacking in Prezis, but I still found it easy to follow along. A nice mix of links to follow for further exploration. I loved the vertical flow within your major topics – a very nice way to connect the major sections.
I will look forward to going back to explore the details, Nicely done!

Hi Ben,
Thanks for sharing. I really liked how you organized your information, headed by six questions. I am doing something similar using the cube as my guide. I found your Prezi answered all of the dimensions of the cube. I liked the mix of text and pictures. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Ben,
Your Prezi presentation is very effective, was helpful in helping me sort out some of my thoughts that were all over the place. Prezi is an interesting application, I find it frustrating but I am sure with repeated use it gets easier. It appears you have included all the content that is required according to the rubric, including the reflection piece and the time requirement. Really enjoyed your presentation, thanks for sharing.
