Wrapping My Head Around Education and Web 2.0

Using a reader has changed the way I find and explore information. Before RSS, it was easy to get bogged down checking the same sites for updates, but now I find myself discovering and reflecting on material/information I might not have thought I was interested in prior.

A great example, is over the last month via my twitter and reader I have been hearing a lot about a new method of presenting in which you use 5 minutes using 20 slides (each for 15 seconds). This approach is called  pecha-kucha, this creative approach seems to be the new rave.  In Wired Magazine, they recently posted an article Get to the Powerpoint in 20 slides then sit the hell down that discusses the power of this format.

And to think I would have never heard of this if it wasn’t for my reader feed from Sarah Kadjer.
