PechaKucha, an extraordinary way of making presentations.

The year is reaching to its end and as a nice and funny way to do it, our teacher Leti asked the group to work on a new type of presentation: PechaKucha, twenty slides in twenty seconds.

Therefore, my beloved friend Guille and I came up with the idea of designing the presentation as a tour, telling our classmates what signified the experience to us through the whole year. A journey which represented a challenge, enhanced the acquisition of new knowledge about technology, how to profit from them in order to help learners to success in their future and which serves as a starting point for new reflections.

As a result our PechaKucha included pictures which represent each special moment in our learning process. Since we only had 20 seconds for each slide, was not advisable to include too many special effects as well as long texts. The aim of this type of presentation is to keep the presentation short, engage the audience in the message you desire to transmit while making associations with what they see, but pictures are not ment to distract their attention, just guide them as a visual support.

The entire experience was really a great one. It guided us not only in the learning process about technology but also on how to use it properly to empower learners' autonomy, through deep reflection upon what it means assuming such a compromise as future teachers. 

Here I share some Tips for you to learn a bit more about how to prepare a PechaKucha.
