Pecha Kuna Baby!

  In our lab this week we we're asked to do a Pecha Kucha presentation with a partner on our placement in the CSL program.  Well what's a Pecha Kucha presentation you might ask?  A Pecha Kucha presentation is a power point presentation consisting of twenty slides that run in 20 second intervals.  Mainly having a picture per slide and talking about it for twenty seconds each.  So you'll have to explain your topic, be clear, and make it just about 6 minutes and 40 seconds.  My partner Tania were asked to make half of a Pecha Kucha presentation on the Alberta's Writers Guild. In ten slides we included basic information, up coming events, and projects we have been asked to do through out our placement. I think using pecha kucha is a very good means to focus on what to say and doesn't bore your audience.  We are suppose to be presenting in our next lab to show our classmates what's going on at the Writer's Guild.  Check out our Pecha Kucha power point below and maybe comment what you think!
