The focus was to run through our Pecha Kucha presentations. Although mine isn’t final yet, it was a great opportunity to share my progress and receive feedback on what’s working well and what could be improved.
Some key takeaways for me were:
-
Pace yourself — nerves on the day can make you speak faster, so be mindful of your timing.
-
Include a few slides with lighter content to pause, breathe, and regroup if needed.
-
The audience enjoys seeing the project in action — include photos of students engaging with the content.
-
Keep slides clear and simple — avoid videos, GIFs, or busy backgrounds, as these can distract from your key message.
Next steps include continuing to chip away at the Pecha Kucha presentation over the next couple of weeks. I’ll practise my timing to ensure each slide stays within the 20-second limit. I also think it would be beneficial to practise presenting in front of others — starting with a small group and gradually building up to a larger audience to help ease nerves around public speaking.
