Presentation “What is a Pecha Kucha?”

Not This..giphy

This is a Pecha Kucha…

The goal for using the Pecha Kucha format is to curb (1) boredom by PowerPoint and (2) the inclination to adhere strictly to what is written solely on the screen.  It will also create for more creativity in the presentation itself.
