Pecha Kucha (pronounced peh-cha ku-cha) is an alternative format for presentations that, when done well, stimulates creativity, enthusiasm, high-energy, and engagement. The basic structure of a Pecha Kucha presentation is 20 slides/images, 20 seconds per slide/image. During this session, I will demonstrate the Pecha Kucha format for in-person and stand-alone online presentations, describe similar formats (e.g., Ignite and Lightning Talk), and provide a set of guidelines for making the most of the Pecha Kucha format.

One hundred and thirty-one slides? What is this, death by PowerPoint? Can’t we just skip the presentation and get to what really matters?
~ Heard during a training-session break
We could have just read the slides ourselves. What a waste of time.
~ Read on a conference evaluation form
PowerPoint doesn’t bore people, people bore people. ~ Seen on a mailroom bulletin board

Literacyin the 21st century
patrick r lowenthal

Literacy has always been a collection of cultural and communicative practices shared among members of particular groups. As society and technology change, so does literacy… …the twenty-first century demands that a literate person possess a wide range of abilities and competencies, many literacies.

From: Paul Davis (North America)Sent: Thursday, November 01, 2007 4:54 PMTo: Kevin Colvin; Jill Thompson (North America); Kevin Colvin (North America)Subject: RE:Kevin,Thanks for letting us know--hope everything is ok in New York. (cool wand)Cheers,PCD

The New Literacy Studies (NLS) have shown that literacy is far more complex than the simplistic definition of being able to read and write (Colombi & Schleppegrell, 2002; Street, 1995). NLS posits that literacy is more usefully understood when examined as a tool for (and function of) relationships between people, within groups, or in communities rather than as a set of individual skills (Barton, 1994; Barton & Hamilton, 2000). Specific environments and situations require specific kinds of literacy; relationships of power within these contexts affect literacy uses and the meaning resulting from them (Bizzell, 1982; Corson, 2001; Gilligan, 1993; Heath, 1983, 1991; Hymes, 1971; Medvedev & Bakhtin, 1978; Nystrand, 1982; Pratt, 1998). NLS highlights the fact that what counts as literacy is not the same in all contexts; different domains of life require specific kinds of literacies.

ENG 102: Mediated Discourse (3 credits)In ENG 102, students learn how to read, write, and collaborate in mediated environments. Specific focus will be placed on determining appropriate ways to communicate in different contexts with different audiences. Topics such as use of humor, typography, permanency, & professionalism will be addressed.
