Our next workshop was named 'Pecha Kucha'. As I found out, entering the Mac Lab room later that day for my lesson, I wasn't the only student completely flabbergasted by this title. First thing I needed to know was 'What is Pecha Kucha?'. I was soon assured it wasn't as scary as it sounded. It was a presentation.
Before we got into the presentation side of things, we were informed we would need to learn about Web 2.0, another thing I'd never previously heard of. Furthermore, we were given this website as a starting point to our learning:
http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/oreilly/tim/news/2005/09/30/what-is-web-20.html. One of the first things that caught my eye once I was redirected to this page was a picture which identified the improvements or 'changes' from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0. And after investigating the site further, I learnt about the ways in which Web 2.0 is a vast improvement from it's predecessor.
But what does this have to do with Pecha Kucha? To help us with this next obstacle we were given a link to a powerpoint labelled 'Pecha Kucha: Get to the Powerpoint in 20 Seconds" which you can watch for yourselves by
clicking here. The powerpoint presented some golden rules involving the development of Pecha Kucha Presentations: 1. You can use on 20 Slides. 2. Each slide must last 20 seconds long. However, in our particular brief we were told to use only 15 slides, with 20 seconds for each frame.
