A Pecha Kucha is a slideshow composed of images that all represent a certain topic. In my opinions the better Pecha Kucha presentations are ones about subjects the author is passionate about because the audience feeds of the dedication and energy of the presenter, furthermore if the Pecha Kucha subject is important to the student than it makes the project more fun for them and they learn more.

Because the Pecha Kucha is entirely composed of images I learned more about finding images that I could use without violating any owners rights. The majority of the pictures I compiled were taken of my own collection of comics.

I think Pecha Kucha presentations are great way for students in middle school to talk about what important to them and what makes them different. Pecha Kucha’s allow people to share information visually.

After finishing my three Scratch projects I’ve come to the realization that the program is a lot easier to manage and more fun if you take your time and fully explore its many facets. Part of the fun is also in the creativity creating your own programing allows.

*My third project is on professor Fryer’s flash-drive.*

This program took me forever for some reason. Which is surprising considering it’s only a few seconds long.
