Can you share a Prezi to edit?

Please note that collaborators need a Prezi Next license to be able to edit a presentation. Note: When adding a collaborator, make sure to use the email address associated with their Prezi Next account. ... Enter the name or email of the collaborator you wish to add, then select their rights.

How do I share the Prezi with my teacher/class?

Now, when you click on share, click on share prezi. It says to add people by typing in your teacher or friend. You can share your Prezi's with me at: 1299861@rcsd121.org (this is my Google Classroom account as well...)

BEFORE YOU SEND IT TO A FRIEND MAKE SURE TO CHECK FOR GRAMMAR AND CAPITALIZATION MISTAKES!

HOMEWORK: Chapter 4 ?'s are due next class. Complete your song lyrics if you did not do so in class. Work on your Prezi with your partner or alone if you are working alone.
