Pecha Rocked It or Pecha Train Wreck?

First, a congratulations to all of you for trying something new and sharing something new with the class.  It's so nice to see a slide show that compliments what's being said (or voiced over) instead of being read directly from a script posted on slides!  The topics were interesting, the pictures colorful, and the whole thing enlightening and entertaining.  Bravo!

That said, please post your slide show to our blog by creating your own post and reflecting on the experience (classroom appropriate and kind, please).  You might discuss what you learned through your own research - new knowledge about your topic - and also what you learned about the method of presenting.  You should mention presentations that stood out to you and taught you something new.

For those of you suffering from a technology snafu (no audio, no transitions, and so forth), kudos to you for trying.  Maybe as you upload your slide show to your blog, you can correct the audio or provide in your blog post the text of your information we should have heard.  I'm afraid some of the shows got lost in translation because the audio didn't carry the presentation.  I didn't forsee this, but I wish I had.  It's hard to evaluate these shows.  You should have prepared for an event (like no audio) by simply giving your presentation live, but I should have forewarned you as well. I didn't feel like I could ask at the last minute.    For those of you who have your audio fixed, we can redo the presentation.  If it's not fixed, and you have already presented under duress,  provide us on your blog post some of the information that would have been on your audio, or you can still present live!

Some of you are ready to take your show on the road.  Wonder when the next Pecha Kucha is in our area!
