"People used to whisper to each other or pass hand-scribbled notes during presentations. Now these notes are going digital on Twitter or via conference-provided chat rooms.

Up until now, this back-channel has been mainly confined to the Internet industry and technology conferences. However, a survey of leadership conferences from Weber Shandwick shows that there is a significant increase in blogging and twittering at conferences.

So the next time you present at a conference, instead of being confronted by a sea of faces looking at you, you may be phased by a sea of heads looking down at their laptops. The challenge is how to adapt to presenting with the back-channel."

"At about the same time, the presentation style known as “pecha kucha” emerged. Pecha kucha solves the death-by-Powerpoint problem by introducing constraints: 20 slides, set to auto-advance every 20 seconds. You wouldn’t want to make up your mind about, say, the viability of the public option in US healthcare via such a method, but it’s a fun and lightweight way to manage presentations.

"Pecha Kucha was developed as a presentation format to allow design and creative types to share their passions and show off their work. The format is very tight. You have to present with 20 slides and each slide is shown for 20 seconds. It has the great advantage of keeping presentations short and concise – perhaps accounting for it’s popularity around the world. However, it’s challenging to prepare a good Pecha Kucha presentation and even more so to deliver it well.

From my observations, here are my tips :"

Melanie sez: In addition to unpacking a provocative topic (scary scary for many academics!) with insight, humour and heart, Robbins does so in a lively animated format that takes slide-sharing to a whole nother level. This is some phat loot for those of us looking to level up in the big battle that is technology adoption in education (and elsewhere - just change the titles and this would apply in any field). One of my favourite slides is near the end. It's about reconciliation and 'taking off armour' ... this battle isn't about winners and losers. T
