Over the years, I have sat in on countless presentations. Many of them are extremely boring; however, some of the most fun, informative, and engaging presentations have adhered to the Pecha Kucha rules.
The campus where I work is about to launch a writing, math, and presentation center for our students. I have been tossing around the idea of using Pecha Kucha to draw students to the center and holding fun, informative contests.
According to Wikipedia, Pecha Kucha is Japanese for chit-chat. It is a storytelling presentation format. Presenters show 20 slides. Each slide stays on the screen for 20 seconds. They, therefore, have 6 minutes and 40 seconds, or 400 seconds, to present. Slides advance automatically.
This week, we are going to highlight why you would want to use them in your classroom, tips for an engaging presentation, and how to introduce them in your classroom.
