I was looking toward the challenge once I got the assignment to create a Pecha Kucha to present to my peers. However, I had a bit of a mental block to start writing, didn't know where to begin or what to include. Should I write about all of my years of teaching? My experiences going through the ESL certification process? Or just write about my digital skills and pursuit to improve them?
Each would be a book.
I fixed 20 blank slides and scrolled through my Google photo albums to connect ideas.
I began to write (run-ons) thinking of my newcomers and what I to get them to produce their first works using Google Docs.
The night before presenting, I fidgeted with formatting text & pictures and adding transitions to the slides. Finally happy with the slides, I set the time/ pacing. I wrote a script from all Inhad jotted. I read it aloud once for a flow, and set to record my narrative.
It was all Good. Watch it.
I did experience technical difficulties submitting it. Then the more I sat with it, the less I liked my voice.
I re-recorded it on my tablet. Again found it difficult to link. I spent another 6:40 minutes recording it on my iPhone and decided to upload it to my YouTube page. It took an hour, but at 11pm I went to bed happy it was done.
Thursday, Professor Leslie Bogad played it for the class (on our Zoom). Mission accomplished. I am definitely going to get my seniors to set their PBDA presentations as Pecha Kucha -sort (because it has to be 15 minutes) this summer.
