The Phenomenon That’s Making PowerPoint Presentations Bearable (Even Enjoyable?) | EdSurge News

The Phenomenon That’s Making PowerPoint Presentations Bearable (Even Enjoyable?) | EdSurge News | Education 2.0 & 3.0 | Scoop.it

After death and taxes, the next unavoidable thing in life may be lousy Powerpoint presentations. And for anyone who’s ever struggled to simultaneously read and listen as a speaker breezes through slides, Sean Smyth has some comforting words: It’s not your fault. The human brain simply isn’t equipped to multitask on that level.

“Your mind can’t work that way,” says Smyth, the CEO of PechaKucha, a company that offers software and other services centered around a unique take on slide sharing. “It can’t both read and listen at the same time.”

Meet Pecha Kucha, the Japanese presentations changing everything about PowerPoint

Meet Pecha Kucha, the Japanese presentations changing everything about PowerPoint | Education 2.0 & 3.0 | Scoop.it

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.
