PechaKucha
Hi everyone. I don't know if anyone is still checking this blog, but in case you are, I did my PechaKucha on stage at Tokyo PK Night on February 23. It was really an interesting experience. In front of about 400 strangers. No one I knew was there. It went really fast. It felt like about two minutes. PechaKucha put my presentation online if you want to see it.

AEP: Final presentation video links, final reflection blogging
Excellent work on the final group presentations. Very high quality communication. Stimulating.
I was sincerely inspired by the work your various organizations were doing to make a difference in issues facing our world.
Here are the video links if you want to watch as you reflect on the final two questions to answer on your blogs (any time before...Wednesday next week at the latest):
- In terms of presentation skills (using your voice, body language, visuals etc.), what did you learn through the three presentation projects and lessons in AEP?
- What do you want to continue to improve?
- (Optional) Any other comments or reflections?
Free the Children
Women's Aid
Teach for America
Marine Mammal Center
Our final class on Monday (I-101, same room) will be a chance to wrap up and discuss what you learned and what skills you want to develop further. You can write your final reflection blog article before or after Monday's class as you like. Don't forget to post your group's slides on blog today or tomorrow so that your partner can write a comment for you.
Once again, great presentations, and see you Monday,
Mark & Sylvan
