Pecha Kucha

I did my presentation on PECS a picture exchange communication system. This is usually used for students or adults with Autism or other developmental disabilities. I'm getting my masters in Special Edu. and this year I will be working as a Sped teacher. This presentation shows what PECS can do for someone, how it is done, and how it is beneficial.
I like this activity because I felt it helped teach me how to summarize things down and get to the point. I have trouble sometimes explaining things in short sentences or a shorter version. This assignment forced me to do that. Something like this would be beneficial for my students because with little words and more pictures it would hold their interest better and they would not get bored as easily; at the same time I would be getting my point across. This is a good way to practice giving information to students via PowerPoint. There have been many times where I've witnessed a PowerPoint in the elementary grades and students don't bother to read it and therefore are not even sure what you want them to learn. Why would they read it when they were expecting something to watch? Why not have them watch instead of read when you know for sure that they will understand. Not every elementary class has perfect readers, we all know that!!!! It's easy to see how something like this can be used.
Hope you learn something
