I have never heard of Pecha Kucha before this past week but to be honest I like it. It allows people to present anything they what in a short and timely manner. The video I posted gives a good detailed look to what Pecha Kucha is all about. The video gives you ideas on how to construct and design different Pecha Kucha’s. The narrator offers ideas that about adding pictures that convey your message as you speak to your audience or have a slide with important information that you are speaking about. Here is a quick over view of what I took from it:
§ Pecha Kucha is Japanese for the sound of chatter or casual conversation
§ Started in 2003
§ 20 slides at 20 sec per
§ 6:40 to present
§ Plan, practice, and use slides that are best suited to get your thought across
§ Time permitting Q&A after
§ Do a lot with a little
Pecha Kucha I feel can be a very useful tool to use in a classroom. It is a way to have your students presentations kept down to a bare minimum of just the facts. It gives them the opportunity to showcase their true potential and how well they are educated with their topic. Pecha Kucha is about having an opportunity for your voice to be heard. It allows students to express their thoughts, ideas, and feelings about a certain topic. P.K. also keeps the attention of your students due to the fast paced content and changing of topics every 7 minutes. It aides you as a teacher in terms of class management and structure. I feel that Pecha Kucha does have a place for education. It can be a useful tool to help students search for what is best in their interest in order to receive a passing grade.
