Meet Pecha Kucha, the Japanese presentations changing everything about PowerPoint - Ivy Nelson, eSchool News

As I prepare for my presentation this week at the Florida Educational Technology Conference (FETC) on “Presenting with Pecha Kucha,” my colleagues have repeatedly asked me, “What is Pecha Kucha?” The short answer is it’s a great presentation style that gets students thinking and learning, not reading slides. A longer one might be to explain that the term comes from the Japanese words for “chit chat,” so as you might guess this unique presentational style embraces a more conversational tone. But more importantly, it is transforming presentations as we know them. http://www.eschoolnews.com/2015/01/22/pechakucha-powerpoint-359/
